Role of inbreeding depression and purging in captive breeding and restoration programmes (Leberg and Firmin, 2008)
Box 1
Fitness
-
Average level of relatedness increase among members of a population, the mean population fitness decline.
Population viability
The probability that a population will persist in the face of extinction threats over a given time period.
Inbreeding depression
Reduced fitness of offspring of related individuals relative to the fitness of offspring of randomly mated individuals.
Genetic load
Relative difference between the average fitness of a population's members and the fitness of the most fit genotype.
-
Purging
-
As the recessive alleles are eliminated, they have a reduced effect on genetic load.
Recessive alleles : influence phenotypes when present as homozygotes
Dominant alleles : strong influence on phenotypes, mask the presence of recessive alleles
Partial dominant allele:the phenotypes are partially imasked by dominant alleles.

Conclusions
- (Crnokrak & Barrett, 2012) Purging is important evolutionary force in small population.
- Purging effect can be avoided by:
-
-
- There is lack of purging in Gambusia population due to
-
-
-
Methods
null hypothesis: No difference in population growth among bottleneck history treatments based on relatedness of founding individuals
virgin offspring
-
usage of 12 populations
-
6 population of offspring of fish maintained in a large out-bred stock that had experienced no bottleneck
