Coastal Cutthroat
The coastal cutthroat is located in watersheds from California to Prince William Sound in Alaska. However, several populations in western Oregon are thought to be at moderate risk of extinction, because of ocean conditions and habitat-related problems. Unlike most other salmon species, the coastal cutthroat can spawn more than once. They have bright red streaks located on their lower jaw, and a dense pattern of spots across the body, completely covering the tail. Adult cutthroat average 1 to 4 pounds, and can reach 20 inches in length.
