Henneguya zschokkei is found in fish as an ovoid spore with two anterior polar capsules and two long caudal appendages. [6] Individuals are very small (about 10 micrometers in diameter), [7] but are found aggregated into cysts 3–6 mm in diameter at any place in the animal's musculature.
Salmonidae (/ s æ l ˈ m ɒ n ɪ d iː /, lit.

The hatchery releases Chinook salmon from three locations. The first location is the Lower American River at the Sunrise Avenue river access, where 1.33 million are released annually. The second location is found in the Lower American River under the Jibboom Street Bridge, where another 1.33 million salmon are released.
Chinook and coho are reared by the state Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, located three miles upstream from the creek's mouth. [3] The hatchery has been releasing Chinook salmon into Issaquah Creek since 1936. [8] Each Spring the hatchery releases approximately 500k coho (April 1) and 2.7 million Chinook smolts (in May) have been released each year. [9]
Long term production goals for Coleman NFH Complex are as follows: 12,000,000 fall Chinook salmon, 1,200,000 late-fall Chinook salmon, 250,000 winter Chinook salmon, and 600,000 steelhead annually. Winter Chinook salmon are reared at the Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery , a sub-station of Coleman NFH, located at the base of Shasta Dam .
It is said that these Chinook salmon had massive amounts of energy reserves. They also produced large amounts of offspring. Bob Heinith of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission stated that June hogs most likely migrated to the sea as very young fish before the age of one.
The Atlantic salmon and brown trout (Salmo trutta) are widespread species and have been introduced worldwide as farmed food fish or recreational game fish, while most of the other Salmo species are narrowly distributed forms endemic to single watersheds. The name Salmo derives from the Latin salmō, meaning salmon.
