Th e potential genetic eff ects of aquaculture activities have aroused a great deal of concern, and the perceived risks are often associated with interbreeding with natural populations and the adverse eff ects of ecosystem interactions (1). Th e EU-funded project Genimpact (http://genimpact.imr.no) reviews specifi c aspects of potential risks and concerns on interbreeding and aquaculture-ecosystem interactions. In workshop 2, emphasis was given on the current knowledge and state of art of the tools available for the study of monitoring escapees of the species under study i.e. Atlantic salmon, Atlantic cod, European sea bass, gilthead sea bream, turbot, common carp, Atlantic halibut, scallops, mussels, oysters (Pacifi c oyster and European fl at oyster) and European lobster. Additionally emphasis was given on the future research objectives for better and improved monitoring methods.
