Hematology, blood chemistry, glycogen levels, and plasma protein composition were measured on samples of female, male, and precocious male fingerlings, male yearlings, and 2‐year‐old jack chinook salmon. Precocious male fingerlings varied from immature fingerlings in levels of total plasma protein, cholesterol, and various plasma protein fractions, and were more similar in characteristics to jack salmon and yearlings.
