Sockeye salmon do not feed during reproduction. [22] Feeding ends once they enter into freshwater, which can be several months before spawning. [23] Embryos are maintained with only endogenous food supplies for about 3–8 months. [30] Reproduction in the sockeye salmon has to be accomplished with the energy stores brought to the spawning grounds.
Salmon along the edge of the river during the November salmon run. It is known for being one of the largest sockeye salmon runs in North America. A dominant year occurs every four years when millions of sockeye salmon spawn in the Adams River. The last dominant run was in October 2014, the next in 2018, with "sub-dominant" runs in 2007 and 2011.
The river's commercial salmon season is very brief, beginning in May for chinook salmon, and sockeye salmon for periods lasting mere hours or several days at a time. [22] Sport fishing by contrast is open all year-long, [23] but peak season on the Copper River lasts from August to September, when the coho salmon runs.
Salmon can make amazing journeys, sometimes moving hundreds of miles upstream against strong currents and rapids to reproduce. Chinook and sockeye salmon from central Idaho, for example, travel over 1,400 km (900 mi) and climb nearly 2,100 m (7,000 ft) from the Pacific Ocean as they return to spawn.

Sockeye salmon get their famously bright red color and hooked nose after they return to freshwater to spawn. Bristol Bay is home to the largest run of wild sockeye salmon in the world - with an average annual run of over 30 million fish. This photo was taken on the Wood River, which flows into the Nushagak River just north of Dillingham, Alaska.
The fish species that are found in the Chilkoot River below the lake outlet are generally the sockeye salmon and Oncorhynchus nerka. In order to enumerate the salmon that pass down the river, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries established a weir on the river, in 1976, a few hundred yards downstream from the ...
