After returning to their spawning stream, the color change to pale grey on the back with yellowish-white belly. During their spawning migration, males develop a pronounced humped back, thus they are also called humpies. Adult fish range in size from 14 to 18 inches 36 to 46 cm in length, average weight is approximately 4 pounds 1.
Pink salmon harvests are larger in odd numbered years and spawn in 2 year cycles. Hence, they are the smallest and most abundant of the salmon species. Pink salmon are distinguished by their light, rosy pink flesh color and small flake.
Cooked pink salmon is very mild, tender and moist, and has a moderate to soft texture. Sockeye salmon are blue tinged with silver in color when they are living in the ocean. Sockeye salmon have no spots on the tail, and they are distinguished by their small black speckles on its deep blue-green back and silver sides.
Juveniles remain in freshwater until they are ready to migrate to the ocean. When they return to spawning grounds, their bodies become red and their heads turn green color. Sockeye can be anywhere from 24 to 34 inches 61 to 86 cm in length and weigh from 5 to 15 pounds 2. Raw sockeye salmon has a deep red to orange red flesh colour. Cooked sockeye salmon is a richly textured and highly flavourful salmon.
Sockeye salmon is very high in oil content, and it is recommended to bake, broil, grill and poach. Chinook salmon, also known as King Salmon, is blue-green, red, or purple on the back and top of the head, with silvery sides and white ventral surfaces. Atlantic salmon have also been introduced in New Zealand, Chile and southern Argentina. Eggs normally hatch in the spring. After emerging from the gravel in their natal streams, young juveniles concentrate in nursery habitats typically characterized as riffle areas with adequate cover, shallow water depth and moderate to fast water flow.
After two to three years, they migrate through the estuary and into the ocean where they inhabit depths between 0 and m 0 — ft. Some landlocked populations of Atlantic salmon do exist.
Adults feed on squid, shrimp and fish. Atlantic salmon, an anadromous species, have a complex life history which begins when they hatch as fry in their natal streams, then rear as juveniles in fresh water streams and tributaries and finally migrate to sea for their adult life history stage. This species usually spends two to three years in freshwater habitats before migrating to the ocean.
