 | | Coho can be distinguished from chinook salmon by the lack of fl spots on the lower lobe of the tail, and white or gray gums at the base of the teeth; chinook have small fl spots on both caudal lobes of the tail, and they have fl gums. |
| | Those cohos that have been transplanted to strictly freshwater environments (as in the Great Lakes) hatch in tributary rivers and streams, spend part of their life in the open water of the lake, and then return to tributaries to spawn. |
| | Adult male sea-run coho salmon generally enter streams when they are either 2 or 3 years old, but adult females do not return to spawn until 3 years old. |
