Real-world information
The Chum Salmon (also known as the Keta Salmon, Dog Salmon, and Silverbrite Salmon) is a species of salmon that mainly inhabits the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Like many other salmon, after spending their life wandering the oceans they travel to the brackish water of river-mouths to spawn. Because the salmon have become so used to the salt water of the sea, they deteriorate rapidly after spawning and die. Oddly enough, they often return to the freshwater area that they spawned from initially.
