From data on interpopulation genetic structure of the Atlantic salmon from the rivers of the Barents, White and Baltic Sea basins on U.S.S.R. territory, it is suggested that salmon colonized the Onega and Pechora River basins from the Baltic drainage as the last ice‐sheet receded, and that the Kola Peninsula rivers were colonized separately from the Barents Sea area.
