*[[Atlantic salmon]] (''Salmo salar'') reproduce in northern rivers on both coasts of the Atlantic Ocean.
**Landlocked Atlantic salmon (''Salmo salar'' m. ''sebago'') is a [[potamodromous]] (migratory only between fresh waters) [[subspecies]]/[[morph (biology)|morph]] that live in a number of lakes in eastern North America and in Northern Europe, for instance in lakes [[Lake Sebago|Sebago]], [[Lake Onega|Onega]], [[Lake Ladoga|Ladoga]], [[Saimaa]], [[Vänern]] and [[Lake Winnipesaukee|Winnipesaukee]]. They are not a different species from the sea-run Atlantic salmon but have independently evolved a freshwater-only life cycle, which they maintain even when they could access the ocean.
*[[Chinook salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus tshawytscha'') are also known in the [[United States]] as [[king salmon]] or "blackmouth salmon", and as "spring salmon" in [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]]. Chinook salmon is the largest of all Pacific salmon, frequently exceeding {{cvt|6|ft}} and {{cvt|30|lb|order=flip}}.<ref>{{cite web | title = Chinook Salmon | publisher = Alaska Department of Fish and Game | url = http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/chinook.php | access-date = 17 November 2006 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061217130226/http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/chinook.php | archive-date = 17 December 2006 | url-status = dead}}</ref> The name ''tyee'' is also used in British Columbia to refer to Chinook salmon over 30 pounds and in the [[Columbia River]] watershed, especially large Chinooks were once referred to as [[June hogs]]. Chinook salmon are known to range as far north as the [[Mackenzie River]] and [[Kugluktuk]] in the central Canadian arctic,<ref name="dfo-mpo.gc.ca">{{cite web | url = http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/Library/321160.pdf | title = The Distribution of Pacific Salmon (''Oncorhynchus'' spp.) in the Canadian Western Arctic | first = S.

*[[Chum salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus keta'') is known as dog salmon or calico salmon in some parts of the US, and as ''keta'' in the [[Russian Far East]]. This species has the widest geographic range of the Pacific species:<ref>{{cite web | title = Chum Salmon | publisher = Alaska Department of Fish and Game | url = http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/chum.php | access-date = 17 November 2006 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070405173410/http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/chum.php | archive-date = 5 April 2007 | url-status = dead}}</ref> in the eastern Pacific from north of the [[Mackenzie River]] in Canada to south of the [[Sacramento River]] in [[California]] and in the western Pacific from [[Lena River]] in [[Siberia]] to the island of [[Kyūshū]] in the [[Sea of Japan]].
*[[Coho salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus kisutch'') are also known in the US as [[silver salmon]]. This species is found throughout the coastal waters of [[Alaska]] and British Columbia and as far south as [[Central California]] ([[Monterey Bay]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=Coho Salmon |url=http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/ESA-Salmon-Listings/Salmon-Populations/Coho/ |publisher=NOAA Fisheries |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130202014228/http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/ESA-Salmon-Listings/Salmon-Populations/Coho/ |archive-date=2 February 2013 |date=28 June 2012}}</ref> It is also now known to occur, albeit infrequently, in the Mackenzie River.<ref name="dfo-mpo.gc.ca"/>
*[[Masu salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus masou''), also known as {{nihongo|"cherry trout"|桜鱒 サクラマス|sakura masu}} in [[Japan]], are found only in the western Pacific Ocean in Japan, Korea, and Russian Far East. A landlocked subspecies known as the Taiwanese salmon or Formosan salmon (''[[Oncorhynchus masou formosanus]]'') is found in central Taiwan's Chi Chia Wan Stream.<ref>{{cite news|title=Formosan salmon |newspaper=Taiwan Journal |url=http://taiwanjournal.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=10710&CtNode=122 |access-date=13 December 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013213219/http://taiwanjournal.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=10710&CtNode=122 |archive-date=13 October 2007 }}</ref>
*[[Pink salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus gorbuscha''), known as humpback salmon or "humpies" in southeast and southwest Alaska, are found in the western Pacific from Lena River in Siberia to Korea, found throughout northern Pacific, and in the eastern Pacific from the Mackenzie River in Canada<ref name="dfo-mpo.gc.ca"/> to northern California, usually in shorter coastal streams. It is the smallest of the Pacific species, with an average weight of {{convert|3.5|to|4.0|lb|abbr=on|order=flip}}.<ref>{{cite web | title = Pink Salmon | publisher = Alaska Department of Fish and Game | url = http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/pink.php | access-date = 17 November 2006 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070226222931/http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/pink.php | archive-date = 26 February 2007 | url-status = dead}}</ref>
*[[Sockeye salmon]] (''Oncorhynchus nerka'') is also known as [[red salmon]] in the US (especially Alaska).<ref>{{cite web | title = Sockeye Salmon | publisher = Alaska Department of Fish and Game | url = http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/sockeye.php | access-date = 17 November 2006 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061206232441/http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/fish/sockeye.php | archive-date = 6 December 2006 | url-status = dead}}</ref> This lake-rearing species is found in the eastern Pacific from [[Bathurst Inlet]] in the [[Canadian Arctic]] to [[Klamath River]] in California, and in the western Pacific from the [[Anadyr River]] in Siberia to northern [[Hokkaido]] island in Japan. Although most adult Pacific salmon feed on small fish, [[shrimp]], and [[squid]], sockeye feed on [[plankton]] they filter through [[gill raker]]s.<ref name="USFWS" /> [[Kokanee salmon]] are the landlocked form of sockeye salmon.
*Danube salmon, or [[huchen]] (''Hucho hucho''), are the largest permanent freshwater salmonid species.
