    What I cooked last night. 2005

  • Salmo salar sebago, they were called, after the lake where we fished for them and where the rod-and-reel record, a 221/2-pounder, was taken in 1907.

  • “Salmo sebago” was described for the landlocked salmon of Maine in 1853, under the assumption that a completely freshwater life history must represent a species different from sea-run S. salar.

  • Because, as with rainbow trout, sockeye salmon, and brown trout, all landlocked populations of Atlantic salmon have derived independently from sea-run populations, “S. salar sebago” denotes a freshwater life history form, not a single evolutionary line that gave rise to all lake salmon.

  • “S. salar sebago” is commonly used in the literature in reference to lake populations of Atlantic salmon, just as lake populations of brown trout are called “S. trutta lacustris.”

    Trout and Salmon of North America Robert J. Behnke 2002

  • Because all landlocked and all sea-run Atlantic salmon are now classified as S. salar, and “sebago” is the first name proposed for any form of North American Atlantic salmon, both landlocked and sea-run Atlantic salmon of North America would become “S. salar sebago” and European salmon would be “S. salar salar.”
