Oncorhynchus kisutch
Description
Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum, 1792).
Coho Salmon or Silver Salmon. To 108 cm (42.5 in) TL (Coad 1995). North Korea and Japan to Point Hope, Chukchi Sea, Alaska to Monterey Bay, central California (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), with strays to MacKenzie Delta, Northwest Territories (Stephenson 2006), to Bahía Camalu, northern Baja California (Messersmith 1965). Depth: surface to 97 m (318 m) (Walker et al. 2007). A much deeper record of 454 m (1,489 ft) (DFO) was recorded from a bottom longline survey; however, the fish could have been caught at a shallower depth as the hooks descended through the water column and a record from 421 m (1,381 ft) was from a bottom trawl (NWFSC-FRAM)
