Aquaculture, conservation, and biological research are reliant on the successful breeding of animals in captivity. Here, Farquharson et al. report that, in captivity, captive-born animals have decreas...

Abstract. Captive breeding programs are an increasingly popular tool to augment the conservation of threatened wild populations. Many programs keep detaile
