TLDR
It is concluded that in the later stages of maturation, the quality of the meat deteriorates and the odour and flavour became much less pronounced, and the texture became watery and tough.About:

Factors affecting the proximate composition of cultured fishes with emphasis on salmonids
TL;DR: Examination of measurements presented in a number of published papers indicates that comparison of proximate compositions on a dry weight basis and failure to include fish size as a covariate have led to erroneous conclusions concerning the effects of environmental and dietary factors on the proximate composition of cultured fishes.

Reproductive strategies of Atlantic salmon: ecology and evolution
TL;DR: While knowledge about the breeding of Atlantic salmon is detailed, it is only beginning to understand the ultimate causes and/or functional significances of their reproductive strategies, and predictive models of the life history variation are developing, focusing on the need for empirical study and testing of life history and reproductive patterns.

TL;DR: Puberty comprises the transition from an immature juvenile to a mature adult state of the reproductive system, i.e. the individual becomes capable of reproducing sexually for the first time, which implies functional competence of the brain-pituitary-gonad (BPG) axis.

Dietary protein/energy ratios for Atlantic salmon in relation to fish size: growth, feed utilization and slaughter quality
O. Einen,A. J. Roem +1 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that a DP/DE ratio of 14.1 g MJ−1 in high-energy diets for Atlantic salmon in sea water is below the optimal DP/ DE ratio for growth and feed utilization, and that the optimal ratio decreases with increasing fish weight.

One species with two biologies: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the wild and in aquaculture
TL;DR: This paper explains why escaped domestic Atlantic salmon have had an impact on wild Atlantic salmon populations and now threaten Pacific salmonids as well and why a polarization of views between aquaculturists and environmentalists will not resolve the problems.

Carotenoids in diets for salmonids. I. Pigmentation of rainbow trout with the individual optical isomers of astaxanthin in comparison with canthaxanthin
Per Foss,Trond Storebakken,Katharina Schiedt,Synnøve Liaaen-Jensen,Erland Austreng,Konrad Streiff +5 more
TL;DR: Visual and chemical determinations revealed that the individual optical isomers of astaxanthin were more efficacious than canthaxanth in pigmenting the flesh of rainbow trout.

Response to individual selection for age at sexual maturity in Atlantic salmon
TL;DR: There is considerable opportunity to alter the age at sexual maturity in Atlantic salmon through selection and evidence was found that maturation of parr is a heritable trait and that it is independently inherited from maturation in the sea.
