(gcide) | Salmon \Salm"on\ (s[a^]m"[u^]n), n.; pl. Salmons (-[u^]nz) or
(collectively) Salmon. [OE. saumoun, salmon, F. saumon, fr.
L. salmo, salmonis, perhaps from salire to leap. Cf. Sally,
v.]
1. (Zool.) Any one of several species of fishes of the genus
Salmo and allied genera. The common salmon ({Salmo
salar}) of Northern Europe and Eastern North America, and
the California salmon, or quinnat, are the most important
species. They are extensively preserved for food. See
Quinnat.
[1913 Webster]
[1913 Webster]
Note: The salmons ascend rivers and penetrate to their head
streams to spawn. They are remarkably strong fishes,
and will even leap over considerable falls which lie in
the way of their progress. The common salmon has been
known to grow to the weight of seventy-five pounds;
more generally it is from fifteen to twenty-five
pounds. Young salmon are called parr, peal, smolt, and
grilse. Among the true salmons are:
Black salmon, or Lake salmon, the namaycush.
Dog salmon, a salmon of Western North America
(Oncorhynchus keta).
Humpbacked salmon, a Pacific-coast salmon ({Oncorhynchus
gorbuscha}).
King salmon, the quinnat.
Landlocked salmon, a variety of the common salmon (var.
Sebago), long confined in certain lakes in consequence of
obstructions that prevented it from returning to the sea.
This last is called also dwarf salmon.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Among fishes of other families which are locally and
erroneously called salmon are: the pike perch, called
jack salmon; the spotted, or southern, squeteague;
the cabrilla, called kelp salmon; young pollock,
called sea salmon; and the California yellowtail.
[1913 Webster]
2. A reddish yellow or orange color, like the flesh of the
salmon.
[1913 Webster]
