A phylogenetic analysis of the subspecies of Salvelinus malma (Dolly Varden char) was done using DNA sequences from the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Sequences were obtained from the northern S. malma malma from the Noatak River, Alaska, and the Kamchatka River, Russia; from the southern North American form S. malma lordi from the Fox River, Kenai peninsula, and Auke Bay near Juneau, Alaska; and from the southern Asian form S. malma krascheninnikovi from Belaya River in Sakhalin Island, Russia. These sequences were combined with others from Salvelinus alpinus (Arctic char) from several locations in the North Pacific and Europe and analyzed using maximum parsimony and neighbor joining algorithms with Salvelinus namaycush (lake trout) as an outgroup. The resulting trees had two well-supported groups: S. m. malma and S. m. krascheninnikovi in one group and S. m. lordi and various populations of S. alpinus in the other. Salvelinus m. malma and S. m. krascheninnikovi were sister taxa, and S. m. lordi was most closely related to S. alpinus from Northwest Territories (S. a. erythrinus). New chromosome data from S. m. malma from northwestern Alaska supported the three named subspecies because S. m. malma from both Alaska and Russia have 2n = 78 compared with 2n = 82 for the two southern forms and the location of the nuclear organizer regions (NORs) was different in each of the three subspecies.

Two groups of juvenile sockeye salmon are feeding in Lake Azabachye. They belong to the 2nd order stock of the lake (stock A) and to other 2nd order stocks of middle and down stream tributaries of the Kamchatka River which underyearlings migrate into the lake for feeding and wintering (group E). The main part of the stock A leaves the lake to the sea at the age 2+ (mainly 2.3) and the youngsters of the group E migrate to the sea at the age 1+ (mainly 1.3). The body length and weight parameters of the stock A smolts at the age 2+ and the group E smolts at the age 1+ could be similar or dissimilar in particular years. The maximal difference between the smots of these stocks is observed in the years with higher body length and weight for the stock A. Mean for 1979–2016 length and weight of smolts at abovementioned ages are evaluated as 98.42/87.46 mm and 10.40/7.38 g for the A/E stocks. For the stock A, statistically signifcant positive correlation is noted between size-weight parameters of smolts in the years of emigration and their abundance in the years of mass return. However, the regression has a shift between the periods of emigration/return of 1979–2000/1982–2003 and 2003–2013/2006–2016. The correlation is higher for the frst period (r = 0.820; P < 0.001 for body weight and r = 0.797; P < 0.001 for body length, n = 16) than for the second one with higher abundance (r = 0.669; P < 0.05 for body weight and r = 0.711; P < 0.05 for body length, n = 11). On opposite, the returns of the group E depend weakly on size-weight parameters of its smolts for the period of emigration/return of 1979–1997/1982–2000 (no data for return in 1999) and the dependence is insignifcant for the period of 2000–2013/2003–2016.

The Kamchatka River basin is the reproduction area for the secondary large Asian stock of sockeye salmon, one of the most valuable species of pacific salmons. Several major local stocks and groups of minor stocks occupy the basin, the main of them are: i) A — the aboriginal stock in Lake Azabachye (in the lower Kamchatka basin) which juveniles stay two winters in the lake and migrate to sea in the age 2+; ii) E — the transit group of local stocks spawning in the middle and lower tributaries of the Kamchatka which juveniles enter to Lake Azabachye for feeding and wintering and migrate to the sea after the wintering in the age 1+. The latter underyearlings get an additional mark on the scale (less than typical annuli) entering the Lake because of the feeding conditions change. That’s why almost all (90–95 %) juveniles have two zones of dense sclerites (ZDS) when leave Lake Azabachye, no matter of their 2+ or 1+ age. By the measurements in 1979–1987 of the smolts with two ZDS (A + E) in the year of their migration from Lake Azabachye to the sea, each sclerite on scale had formed in 6.61 days, on average, while the smolts staying in the lake for freshwater feeding (with one ZDS) formed each sclerite in 12.00 days, on average. Correspondingly, the migrants had wider distance between the sclerites (4–5 mm), as compared with those of non-migrants (2.0–2.5 mm) (with 150 times magnification). The aboriginal migrants demonstrate the effect of real compensatory growth in the year of emigration that is reflected in the scale structure as wider intersclerite distances. Negative dependence between the size of smolts and rate of their sclerites forming is observed on the data of 1987–2016 for the aboriginal stock A: the bigger the smolts at age 2+, the lower the rate, the longer the time of new sclerite forming, and the narrower the distance between sclerites, and vice versa. This dependence is interpreted as additional environment-dependent adjustment of the growth rate for the smolts with compensatory growth for their better adaptation and survival.
