KING SALMON 



Cncorhynchus tshawytscha ( Jalbaum) , commonly called the king, chinook, 

 spring, or quinnat salmon, is distributed throughout the North Pacific Ocean, 

 from Japan to California. There are doubtful records for the Arctic American 

 Coast. Many different common names have been employed for this species. In 

 the literature abstracted by us, it would appear that "king," "spring," and 

 "chinook" are respectively the most commonly employed.
