Sub-yearling spring chinook salmon were fed either a LoFat or HiFat diet from February to November. Fish were sampled over 2 days in November, following 24- and 48-h fasts. Length vs. weight relationships between fish fed the two diets were similar; however, fish fed the HiFat diet had roughly twice the body lipid as fish fed the LoFat diet (9% vs. 4.5%, respectively). Plasma IGF-I vs. length relations between fish fed the two diets were similar; overall, there was a strong relation between plasma IGF-I and length (r 2 =0.53). Similarly, plasma log (insulin) vs. length relations did not vary between the two diets; however, the relationship of log (insulin) vs. length was weak (r 2 =0.2). There was little or no relationship between plasma IGF-I or log (insulin) and body adiposity. Finally, there was a weak relationship between plasma IGF-I and log (insulin) (r 2 =0.23).
