Sockeye Salmon, also known as Oncorhynchus nerka, is a species of fish found in the northern Pacific Ocean and rivers that flow into it. They are known for their vibrant red flesh and distinctive coloration, which changes from blue-green to bright red during spawning. Sockeye Salmon are anadromous, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean, and return to freshwater to reproduce. These fish are an important part of the ecosystem and are a popular choice for fishing and aquaculture. Sockeye Salmon are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, making them a healthy food option. They typically weigh between 5 to 15 pounds and can live up to 7 years.
