Using a natural population of masu salmon (Oncorhynchus masou (Brevoort, 1856)) in a stream of Shikaribetsu Lake, Hokkaido, Japan, we combined behavioural observations with genetic parentage analysis to explore the factors affecting fertilization success achieved by alternative mating tactics (fighting by large migratory males and sneaking by small mature male parr). Larger males gained priority access to females; migrant males do this by holding a guarding position near the nesting female and mature male parr do this by adopting sneaker behaviour and attending spawning groups. Status of mature male parr was related to success of nest entry but not to timing of nest entry, although the timing of nest entry influenced fertilization success of sneakers and ejaculation simultaneous with pair spawning was needed for fertilization by sneakers. The relative body size of each male who successfully spawned with a female is also likely to determine the proportion of eggs he fertilized because larger males have lar...
