Amago -Japanese Trout- Resident Form
Image Size: 11" x 5"
Masu Salmon (Also called Cherry Salmon)
in Spawning Colors- Known in Japan as Wedding Dress.
Image Size: 17" x 8"
When I found out about the Asian Masu Salmon, and saw the
striking markings, I could not resist adding the unique
species found only in Japan, Taiwan & Korea.
Believe it or not- The Amago is actually the juvenile form
found in fresh water of the Masu Salmon. After 1 to 3 years
in freshwater most of the Amago become Sea-Run Masu Salmon.
A percentage stay in freshwater and breed similar to freshwater
trout species. After 3 to 5 years at sea, the Masu Salmon returns
to freshwater and changes into 'wedding dress'.
