| Summary: | Sexually mature male parr successfully mated with female anadromous Atlantic salmon, Salmo sulur, in the absence of anadromous males. There was no significant difference between the proportion of eggs fertilized by mature male parr and anadromous males. One of the demo-graphic consequences of our observations is that overfishingcould eventually eliminate anadromy in male members of a population. 1. |
