polski), also known as Silver Salmon or Silvers, is a species of anadromous fish in the salmon family, one of the several species of Pacific Salmon. Coho salmon are also known by the scientific name Oncorhynchus kisutch.
Etymology
The term "Coho" is derived from the Russian word "koho", which is believed to have been borrowed from the native peoples of Alaska and northeastern Siberia. The scientific name, Oncorhynchus kisutch, is derived from the Greek onkos ("hook") and rhynchos ("nose"), in reference to the hooked jaws of males in the spawning phase, and kisutch is a transliteration of the Russian name for this species.
Description
Coho salmon are typically silver in color during their ocean phase. They have a dark blue back with silver sides and a light belly, and they may have black spots on their back and upper lobe of the tail fin. As they return to their spawning streams, their color changes to a bright red on the sides, with a dark back and head.
Life Cycle
The life cycle of the Coho salmon begins in freshwater streams, where the eggs are laid in a "redd," or nest, and fertilized by a male. After hatching, the young salmon, known as "fry," spend one to two years in their natal stream before migrating to the ocean. They spend another one to two years in the ocean before returning to their natal streams to spawn. The entire life cycle of the Coho salmon is typically three years.
