- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Oncorhynchus mykiss
- Average Weight: 8- 40 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: Steelhead were originally found from northwestern Mexico to the Kuskokwim River in Alaska, now it is unusual to find steelhead south of Ventura River, California. Significant Steelhead Rivers in Oregon include the Rogue, Umpqua and Clackamas Rivers. Steelheads rely on streams, rivers, estuaries and marine habitat during their lifecycle.
- Biology: In freshwater and estuarine habitats, steelhead feed on small crustaceans, insects and small fishes. Eggs are laid in small and medium gravel and need good water flow (to supply oxygen) to survive. After emerging from the redd (nest) they remain in streams and rivers for 1 to 4 years before migrating through the estuaries to the ocean. Because young steelheads spend a significant portion of their lives in rivers and streams, they are particularly susceptible to human induced changes to water quality and habitat threats. Poor timber and agricultural management practices can lead to siltation in streams, which may ruin spawning beds or smother the eggs.
- Physical Description: In the sea, bluish from above and silvery from below -- tends to be more greenish in freshwater. Small black spots on back. Two dorsal fins including one adipose fin, mouth and gums are light, small spots along rays on entire tail, 10-12 rays in anal fin.
