Abstract Biochemical variation in 12 different chinook populations, sampled from 10 hatcheries along the Columbia River and the Oregon coast, was studied with starch gel electrophoresis. An index was
used to describe the genetic differences between pairs of populations. Differences were observed between spring and fall chinook and between Columbia River and Oregon coastal populations. Variation in inbreeding coefficients, calculated at four polymorphic loci, indicated that natural selection may alter the frequency of certain phenotypes.
