Patagonian Chinook Salmon
Average Size 18 – 24 Lbs
The species was successfully introduced in Patagonian waters in Chile by single stocking of juveniles in Chiloe Island (Curaco de Velez) in the early 1970’s, for a no longer active Chinook salmon farming/ranching industry. Currently, wild Patagonian Chinooks have been found in several water bodies, colonizing many rivers with spawning populations.
