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.

Donating to the Museum

When the player donates a cherry salmon to the museum, Blathers will give the player some information on it.

In Wild World

Upon donating it to the museum in Wild World, Blathers will say,

"Cherry salmon are known for their flavor and beauty, eh wot? Indeed, that is likely why they are called the queens of mountain-stream fishing. Hoo hoo! Of course, the males of the species might object to that moniker!"

In City Folk

When donating it to the museum in City Folk, Blathers will say,

"The first thing you notice when looking at a cherry salmon is undoubtedly its green, polka-dot body, wot? All those different sized dots overlapping each other... How very chic!"

The cherry salmon appears in the center left tank.
