Answer is yes. All PAcific Salmon do.

Most die but not all

Some live forever and become immortal...

Rainbow trout/steelhead are a Pacific salmon that does not die after spawning.

Rainbow trout/steelhead are a Pacific salmon that does not die after spawning.

 

 

I never bought into that theory,

hell Pacific Salmon dying after the spawn is what separates a trout from a salmon....

[kickingfrog]

It's not a theory. It's science. We don't have to like it, or understand it, make it correct.

 

Should we talk brook trout or Atlantic salmon etc?

 

The name doesn't change how they fight or taste.

Well Rainbows are trout to me, not salmon.

 

Brook trout are Char and Atlantics are something I've yet to experience.

Oncorhynchus is a salmon genus. Same as the other Pacific salmon. They are different from the others by quite a bit though.

Them is what they are...What they're called is what us apes named them!

[siwash]

someone is getting "techincl" on us .. . yes they are al salmonids but everyone and their daughter, excpect whoever started this, recongnizes a distinction b/w the two!

[jedimaster]

If it smells like Trout...

[kickingfrog]

Well if I was going to be technical. A question was asked. Answered correctly multiple times, but some surplus information was misleading.

 

BTW salmonids would include white fishes, graylings, chars and trouts.

I didnt mean to troll in OFC ..

 

do you guys think that Coho doesnt smell as bad as Chinook?
