Between-population gene flow was estimated in neighbouring freshwater
and anadromous Salmo trutta populations from Asturias Northern Spain.
Populations from the same drainage showed a high mean level of gene fl
ow. Gene flow was also found between populations from different draina
ges and was negatively related to the distance between river mouths. T
he strength of the homing orientation of migratory individuals (sea tr
out) is discussed.
