Distribution and Value of Salmon
SALMON — The salmon of the Atlantic coast is found along the coast of the New England states. At different ages this fish is known as 'parra", "smolts", "grilse", "kelts", and "salmon". The adults weigh from 15 to 40 pounds. The land-locked salmon, or fresh-water salmon is found, as the name implies, in fresh waters, generally land-locked. The steel-head is found in coastal streams from San Francisco northward. The blue-black salmon is found on the Pacific coast from the Columbia River northward; and the California salmon, or chinook salmon, or quinnat, is found from Monterey to Alaska. The dog salmon ranges from the Sacramento River to Behring Strait; the humpbacked salmon, or lost salmon from the Sacramento River to Alaska; and the silver salmon or white salmon is found in all rivers from the Sacramento River to Behring Strait .
Next to oysters, salmon is the most important of the fishery products. Most of the salmon catch is made on the Pacific coast.
