Abstract
To investigate the relationship between genetic composition and some physiological traits of interest (age at smoltification, precocious maturation in male parr) in early and late first feeding Atlantic salmon, genetic variation at 6 isozyme and 8 microsatellite loci was examined. Early and late first feeding salmon showed different allelic and genotypic distributions at both isozyme and microsatellite loci. A positive relation between enzymatic loci heterozygosity and precocious active alimentation and earlier smoltification (S1 cf. S2) were also found.
