Chinook Salmon
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
Adult Chinook salmon range through the cold coastal waters of the North Pacific, then migrate into rivers to spawn. At sea they feed on fishes, squid, and crustaceans, using their powerful jaws to take substantial prey. They are the largest Pacific salmon, and most adults die after completing their demanding upriver spawning run.
