• Description:
  Eulachon are a species of small silver fish in the smelt family. They are native to the Pacific Northwest, thriving in coastal waters from southwestern Alaska to Northern California. Like Pacific salmon, eulachon spawn in rivers before migrating to the ocean, where they reside near the bottom at up to 650 ft deep. The Southern Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of eulachon was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2010.
