The ''Oncorhynchus masou'' or cherry salmon (also called seema) is a type of salmon. It can be found in the western areas of the Pacific Ocean, namely Japan and Korea. It has a landlocked sub-species called the Taiwanese salmon, found in Taiwan. It gets the name cherry salmon from the color it goes when it hits maturity, where the stripes on its sides develop a crimson tinge. It feeds mainly on insects, but also feeds on small fish and crustaceans. It is an endangered, harmless fish.

The cherry salmon appears in the center left tank.

In New Leaf[edit]

"The spotted pattern on cherry salmon serves as a camouflage and is rather common in all salmon. Most cherry salmon spend their lives in rivers, but some do migrate to the ocean to fully mature. They are popular with anglers because of their well-balanced physique and beautiful patterns. Plus, their nervous nature makes them a good challenge to catch, which just adds to the fun."

In New Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"The cherry salmon is related to the salmon, and is known for its distinctive pattern of "polka dots." Their polka dots disappear as they mature, but ONLY in the fish of certain geographic regions. Pity the poor researchers that must make sense of the cherry salmon's fickle fashion sense."

Once donated to the museum, the cherry salmon can be found in the top waterfall tank with the golden trout and char.

Fishing Tourney[edit]

During a Fishing Tourney, when given a cherry salmon, Chip will say the following dialogue.

In City Folk[edit]

"I tell ya, I expected cherry salmon to taste of cherries. But no. It tastes BETTER! Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

In New Leaf[edit]

"Tell you what. You can't beat cherry salmon fried up and salted, maybe with a dinner roll on the side. Not that I mind 'em raw either. Anything goes when it comes to eating fish! YUM!"

Real-world information[edit]

A real-life cherry salmon

The masu salmon (sometimes called the cherry hybrid salmon), Oncorhynchus masou, can be found in the western areas of the Pacific Ocean, namely Japan and Korea. It has a landlocked sub-species called the Taiwanese salmon, found in Taiwan. It gets the name cherry salmon from the color it goes when it hits maturity, where the stripes on its sides develop a crimson tinge. It feeds mainly on insects, but also feeds on small fish and crustaceans. It is an endangered, harmless fish. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.
