Variations in the plasma proteins of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.)

The plasma proteins of 51 juvenile Atlantic salmon were examined by vertical acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Eight distinct phenotypes were found from specimens originating from a single river system in New Brunswick. The potential use of these polymorphisms for identifying populations is discussed.
