Abstract: Wild Spanish populations of Salmo salar were analyzed for their variability at the MEP-2* locus that determines the malic enzyme expressed in muscle mitochondria. The allele frequencies of these populations have been found to be associated with sea-age of returning adults and freshwater temperature; in a minor extent with foreign stocking of Irish and Scottish alevins; and finally, no association was found with precocious parr maturation.
