Abstract
Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) parr in 3 Norwegian rivers have been compared genetically by the u se of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Two primers re vealed polymorphism between different populations of C. salaris. This variation has probably arisen since the introduction of G. salaris to Norway in the 1970s and complements results showing morphological vari ation between G. salaris from different geographical areas.
