Silver Salmon

Silver Salmon

Oncorhynchus kisutch
Silver Salmon
Also Known As
Coho Salmon

Physical Characteristics:

Adults usually weigh 5 to 12 pounds, but can get up to 31 pounds. Adults in salt water or newly returning to fresh water are bright silver with small black spots on the back and on the upper lobe of the tail fin.

Behavorial Characteristics:

The female digs a nest called a redd, and deposits 2,400 to 4,500 eggs. In freshwater, they feed voraciously on a wide range of aquatic insects and plankton. They also consume eggs deposited by adult spawning salmon. Their diet at sea consists mainly of fish and squid.

Stats:

They can grow up to 24-30 inches long, 8-12 pounds
Spawning adults of both sexes have dark backs and heads with maroon to reddish sides.
Little is known about their migrations.
They can be distinguished from Chinook salmon by the lack of black spots on the lower lobe of the tail and by their white gums
