Abstract
The muscle protein pattern of Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar L.) examined differed markedly from that of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson). Atlantic salmon muscle proteins from six areas were not influenced by the differences in sex, stage of maturation, or geographical location. The muscle proteins of brown trout taken from two areas in Newfoundland were similar and could not be easily distinguished from that of rainbow trout from Newfoundland. A polymorphism was observed in the pattern of rainbow trout from Great Pond, Nfld. The consistency of the patterns within species suggests that they may provide useful characters for identification purposes.Keywords
