Genetic influence of parr versus anadromous sires on the life histories of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar )
The potential for sire size to influence life history patterns from fry to sea age at maturity was established by rearing individually identified half-sibs of a single dam and either small (parr) or large (anadromous) sires in a common tank environment. Male sexual maturity was higher among progeny...

The potential for sire size to influence life history patterns from fry to sea age at maturity was established by rearing individually identified half-sibs of a single dam and either small (parr) or large (anadromous) sires in a common tank environment. Male sexual maturity was higher among progeny of small versus large sires at both parr (age 0+, 50% versus 32%, p = 0.065) and grilse stages (age 2+, 23% versus 10%, p = 0.034). In contrast, rates of female grilse (6.8%) and smolt age 1+ (>95%) were independent of sire size. Logistic regression indicated that grilse of small sires had an asymptote body weight (BW) 30% lower than grilse of large sires (1.0 versus 1.4 kg).
