The crypsis hypothesis of salmonid parr coloration and behavior is evaluated in light of the criteria for protective resemblance. A review of the literature indicates that salmonid parr coloration and behavior correspond to a cryptic interpretation. Experiments on coho salmon, O. kisutch, parr substrate color preference indicate that the behavioral correlate of appropriate background choice is satisfied. Absorption spectrophotometry of diapositives of fish and experimental substrates suggests that background matching is achieved through achromatic reflectance and absorption of wavelengths by the silvery sides and parr marks, respectively.
