The silver salmon (Oncorhynchus Idsutch) is also known as silversides, skowitz, kisutch, hoopid salmon, and coho salmon. It is a beautiful fish, having a graceful form and a bright silvery skin. Its flesh, which is fairly good, usually has a bright red color, but as this fades on cooking it is not highly regarded for canning purposes, though large quantities are thus utilized on the Columbia River, Puget Sound, and the short coast streams of Oregon and Washington. Its average weight in the Colu...mbia and Puget Sound is 8 pounds, but in Alaska it averages nearly 15 pounds; it rarely reaches 30 pounds. Its range is from San Francisco to northern Alaska, and as far south on the Asiatic coast as Japan. It runs up the rivers to spawn in fall or early winter, when the waters are high, but usually does not ascend great distances from the ocean. The average number of eggs to a fish is about 2,000. THE DOG SALMON. The dog salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) is the least valuable of the Pacific salmons, although it is dried in large quantities by the Alaskan natives.
