	Chinook salmon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinook salmon may spend between one to eight years in the ocean before returning to their home rivers to spawn, though the average is three to four years.
		Chinook prefer larger and deeper water to spawn in than other species of salmon and can be found on the spawning redds (nests) from September through to December.
		Chinook salmon range from San Francisco Bay in California to north of the Bering Strait in Alaska, and the arctic waters of Canada and Russia (the Chukchi Sea), including the entire Pacific coast in between.

	CHINOOK SALMON
		Chinook salmon spawn and rear in a large range of sizes of streams and rivers, and often use estuaries extensively for rearing.
		Wild spring chinook populations in the Willamette Basin have declined largely because dams blocked access to, and inundated spawning areas, because of a decrease in adult holding pools in tributaries and a decrease in juvenile rearing capacity throughout the basin, and because of mixed-stock fisheries in the Columbia and Willamette rivers.
		Fall chinook populations in the upper Rogue are, in aggregate, similar in abundance to the spring chinook population.

		Big rivers are used by pink salmon in the lower reaches, chinook in the mainstem and larger tributaries, coho in small tribs, and steelhead in the uppermost tributaries.
		This is why salmon tend to spawn in parts of the stream that their offspring use for rearing; the emerging fry do not have to travel far to find rearing areas.

	Chinook Salmon
		The Chinook or the king salmon it is characterized by its size.
		Being anadromous, Chinooks are spending part of their life in the ocean and part in freshwater streams, where they are born and return to spawn.
		Chinook Salmon tend to be more abundant in waters that are 45 to 60 F, with the peak feeding temperature being 54 F. They feed on terrestrial and aquatic insects, amphipods, and other crustaceans while young, and primarily on other fish when older.

	Chinook Salmon: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		The Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is Alaska's state fish and is one of the most important sport and commercial fish native to the Pacific coast of North America.
		In the ocean, the Chinook salmon is a robust, deep-bodied fish with a bluish-green coloration on the back which fades to a silvery color on the sides and white on the belly.
		Chinook salmon do not feed during the freshwater spawning migration, so their condition deteriorates gradually during the spawning run as they use stored body materials for energy and for the development of reproductive products.

		Chinook were the first Pacific salmon to be transplanted to other parts of the world, but the only notable success in creating self-sustaining stocks has been in New Zealand.
		A key factor in this general failure was that, like other Pacific salmon, chinook salmon seek the stream of their birth to spawn and die.
		During their four- to five-year lifespan, chinooks feed on large numbers of alewifes and so put more pressure on the lake's alewife population.
