Electrophoretic variation of 12 enzyme systems, representing 26 loci in four strains of domesticated rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) were studied. The variances among and within strains, estimated from observed frequencies, were compared to data of other studies of biochemical polymorphism carried out in this species. These preliminary results show that a large proportion of the variability in rainbow trout is present in the French hatchery stocks studied and that isolation of these groups for several generations has not caused a significant genetic differentiation as compared to all the domesticated strains studied.

A total of 1462 rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) representing four California domestic strains, were examined electrophoretically at 24 gene loci to investigate the amount of genetic variability within strains and genetic differentiation between strains, relative to wild populations. Estimated heterozygosities of 0.071 to 0.134 were similar to those reported for wild populations and thus indicated that the domestic strains were at least as variable as wild populations. Genetic distances between strains ranged from 0.011 to 0.067, values typical of the level of differentiation observed between local conspecific populations in a variety of organisms. It was suggested that this high level of heterozygosity is due to mixing of populations in the strains' histories and perhaps also to balancing selection.

Preferred temperatures of underyearling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were determined in both vertical and horizontal temperature gradients. No statistically significant difference was found between the preferred temperatures by the two different methods. This suggests that the nature of the gradient plays a lesser role than generally believed in laboratory investigations of temperature preference.
