Historically, they ranged as far south as the Ventura River, California. Chinook salmon also occur along the coast of Siberia and south to Hokkaido Island, Japan.

- Physical Description: Chinook have a longer body with a conical head. its color stays a dark grey/blue on the top with silver sides and belly.
