salmon-salters

Updated: May 9, 2025

The blue-back turns rosy red, the dog salmon a dull, blotchy red, and the quiunat generally blackish. These distorted males are commonly considered worthless, rejected by the canners and salmon-salters, but preserved by the Indians. These changes are due solely to influences connected with the growth of the testes. They are not in any way due to the action of fresh water.
