Abstract

At what age do Atlantic salmon and brown trout become sexually mature, and which factors and mechanisms determine the seasonal timing of maturation and spawning? How are resources allocated to the development of sexual characters and reproduction, and how do they maximize their reproductive output? This chapter reflects on these issues.
