Definitely yes and from the point of smoking probably a critical one. There
are intra-species fat differences and seasonal variances within the species
as well. As far as I can recall since at the moment I do not have any
references handy farmed Salmon species, such as Atlantic or Steelhead would
be, in general, among the fattiest ones. Their fat content would reflect the
particular feeding regime, however on average can be 15% and higher. For
wild Atlantic salmon that fat content would be probably lower and in the
5-6% range. For wild Pacific species of it can very from as low as 4% (Pink,
Chum) to 10% (Chinook) in most cases.
