Oncorhynchus clarkii is a native fish of the Salish Sea with the coastal sub-species distinct from westslope subspecies found east of the Cascades. Some populations in the Salish Sea, Outer Coast and Columbia Basin are anadromous, and travel to salt water to forage.
Notes[edit]
- https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/species/oncorhynchus-clarkii
- Losee et al 2017 study migration patterns in South Puget Sound
- Complex migration patterns make protection of individual stocks during sea-run phase difficult.
- The Little Skookum Creek population was broadly distributed, while the McLane Creek and Kennedy Creek populations were predominantly found within their natal inlets.
