Abstract

Sibling Atlantic salmon fry show variation in early growth rates, despite being of a similar size initially and being in the same environment with excess food. This variation in early growth has a critical impact on their subsequent life-history strategies. We examined the relationships between social status, otolith size at first feeding and early growth rates. Fish were assessed for social status soon after first feeding, and their growth measured over the first 3 months
