* (1) Typically migratory (2) smolts initially feed in seawater, return for wintering to rivers, and only then finally go for feeding to the sea until maturation (3) jacks, (4) half−pounders (thousanders, postsmolt, pregrilse), (5) dwarf riverine males, (6) dwarf riverine females, (7) facultatively anadromous, (8) estuarine, (9) riverine–estuarine, (10) riverine, (11) resident males and females which having spawned in fresh water may make downstream migration to the sea and return already as migratory fish, (12) resident dwarf lacustrine Oncorhynchus nerka (predominantly males as a part of the stock of migratory form), (13) lacustrine, (14) lacustrine–riverine, ? – no precise data.
