An electrophoretic method for distinguishing the young fry of salmon Salmo salar (L.) from those of trout Salmo trutta (L.)

Young fry of salmon were distinguished from those of trout using electrophoresis of whole fry extracts on cellulose acetate sheets. The separation patterns were revealed by general protein staining. The method was found helpful in resolving the mixed salmon and trout fry of an upland stream.
