Length, weight, sex and age characteristics of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) of North American and European origin caught at West Greenland in 1979 / by D.G. Reddin and R.F. Burfitt.: Fs70-8/81-29E-PDF

"Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) from research vessel catches and samples of commercial catches at West Greenland in 1979 were analyzed for fork length, weight and smolt age differences among fish identified to continent of origin (either North American wild or hatchery, or European origin). There were no significant differences in the fork lengths, weights and smolt ages of male and female salmon, of salmon caught in NAFO Div. 1AB and 1CD, and of salmon caught by research vessel and by commercial fishery. However, North American wild origin salmon were shorter, weighed less, and had a higher mean smolt age than did salmon of European origin."--Abstract.
