Sockeye salmon. The sockeye salmon ( Oncorhynchus nerka ), also called red salmon, kokanee salmon, blueback salmon, or simply sockeye, is an anadromous species of salmon found in the Northern Pacific Ocean and rivers discharging into it. This species is a Pacific salmon that is primarily red in hue during spawning.
While the sockeye headed to B.C. are breaking records, endangered Snake River sockeye — the first in 1991 of 13 runs to be listed under the Endangered Species Act — continue to do terribly.
The coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch; Karuk: achvuun [1]) is a species of anadromous fish in the salmon family and one of the five Pacific salmon species. Coho salmon are also known as silver salmon (or "silvers") and is often sold as medium red salmon. [2] The scientific species name is based on the Russian common name kizhuch (кижуч).
The Japanese kokanee, also known as the kunimasu salmon or black kokanee, is considered a subspecies of the sockeye salmon by some, or even a separate species Oncorhynchus kawamurae, and occurs naturally in Lakes Akan and Chimikeppu on Hokkaido Island. [6] The creation of a dam caused the extermination of the fish by changing the lake pH.
Over 300,000 sockeye salmon passed over McNary Dam from June 15 to June 30. It’s been a banner year. Compare that number to creel census data from the Washington Department of Fish and Game ...
Sockeye salmon fishing in the Hanford Reach is more polite. Boaters anchor up from Richland to Ringold and wait for a school of sockeye to swim by. ... Sadly, only 200 of the Endangered run of ...
A salmon run is an annual fish migration event where many salmonid species, which are typically hatched in fresh water and live most of the adult life downstream in the ocean, swim back against the stream to the upper reaches of rivers to spawn on the gravel beds of small creeks. After spawning, all species of Pacific salmon and most Atlantic ...
Sockeye, Chinook, chum, and pink salmon were all endangered in the Elwha. Leaving one or both of the dams in place, even with modern fish passage systems, would not result in a dramatic recovery of species due to other factors like water temperature and gravel beds, which would still have negative effects on the fish species (see Table 1).
