Abstract

The young of the year mykiss Parasalmo mykiss and coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch which perform downstream migration and which stay in the coastal zone during the period of primary dispersion represent different phenotypic groups. They differ in weight, length, and lipid status. Such differentiation is a factor controlling the formation of intrapopulation diversity and of the life strategy of fish. It may determine the timing of smoltification in the future and, further on, of the return for spawning. There were found some analogies and differences in characteristics of lipid metabolism in the investigated species. The content of total lipids decreases by autumn in underyearlings of both species. Furthermore, changes in the content of particular lipid fractions are multidirectional and various scaled, seemingly being related to physiological preparation for the wintering.
