Chin
ook salmon Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the largest species of salmon and one of the most important species in the Pacific Northwest. It is highly valued for both recreational and commercial fishing. Chinook salmon migrate from the open ocean to rivers, streams, and spawning grounds in freshwater, and also from freshwater to the open ocean. The fish are an integral part of the diet and culture of many Native American tribes, and their migration and spawning cycles help support a variety of other fish and wildlife species. In addition, Chinook salmon are now being farmed for food, to minimize overfishing in the wild.
