Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma have polymorphic life histories; populations consist of resident and migratory individuals. 1 In coastal streams in the northern part of their distribution range, the populations have anadromous life histories with mature male parr, whereas all populations of the southern limits (ie Hokkaido Island, Japan) have stream resident life histories in which almost all individuals remain in freshwater throughout their lives. 2, 3 However, a few migrating fish (so-called smolt) and adult migrants have been found in some streams of Shiretoko Peninsula, Hokkaido Island. 4, 5 These facts suggest that smolt or migrant fishes are sometimes generated from freshwater residents in these populations. Presently, extensive studies exist on the relationship between smolting and juvenile size in anadromous salmonid populations, but few studies on the relationship in stream-dwelling salmonid populations have yet been performed. Here, we examine the possibility of smolt incidence from stream-resident Dolly Varden and the relationship between their incidence and body size.We collected 0+ age Dolly Varden (≤ 8 cm fork length) with a hand net (in August 1999) from Idashubetsu Stream (44 07′ N, 145 06′ E), on the western coast of Shiretoko Peninsula. This small mountainous stream is about 7 km long and flows into The Sea of Okhotsk. Our collection site was located approximately 4 km from the stream
