Coho Salmon, also known as silver salmon, are a species of fish found in the North Pacific Ocean. They are recognized for their bright silver skin and distinctive red flesh. Coho salmon typically weigh between 8 to 12 pounds and can grow up to 30 inches long. They are anadromous, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean, and return to freshwater to spawn.
These fish are popular among anglers and are valued for their rich flavor and firm texture. Coho salmon usually spawn in rivers and streams, where females lay eggs in gravel nests. Their life cycle includes several stages, from egg to fry, before they migrate to the ocean for several years.
