What is the difference between the Atlantic salmon and the Pacific salmon?
The Atlantic salmon is a member of the genus Salmo, an oceanic trout of the family Salmonidae. The Pacific salmon are found in the genus Oncorhynchus. The seven species of Pacific Salmon are:
The oldest salmon: The oldest verified fossil for a freshwater version of the salmon is 50 million years old. Five to six million years ago salmon had fangs, weighed 500 pounds, and were ten feet long. The modern anadromous Pacific salmon emerged about two million years ago in the cold mountain streams of the Pacific Northwest. Of course this is just a young whipper-snapper compared to the saber-tooth salmon.
Trout and Salmon are both in the family Salmonidae.
