Sperm, egg, and embryo proteins critical for genetic adaptation of herring to low salinity in the Baltic Sea
) have been introgressed from the sister species Pacific herring. These findings reveal concrete molecular mechanisms by which a marine species has adapted to a novel, low-salinity environment.
