The salmonids are members of the family salmonidae and include the Salmo,
Oncorhynchus, and Salvelinus genera. The development of genome resources
to facilitate research in these species results from their use in studying
evolution, as a model organism in biomedical research, and as an aquaculture
species. The well-characterized species with respect to genomics are Atlantic
salmon and rainbow trout, although genetic maps have been developed for several
other species including Chinook salmon and Artic char.
