Experimental design. A total of 8400 Atlantic salmon of farmed, hybrid and wild origin were included in this study. Experimental replicates were sorted out at the eyed-egg stage. The temperature treatments were initiated at the onset of exogenous feeding, while the experiment was terminated after the first summer. All individuals that died during the experimental period were DNA sampled and assigned to family of origin in order to investigate the strains thermal reaction norm for survival. At termination of the experiment a random subset of the surviving individuals were sampled in order to investigate the strains thermal reaction norm for growth
