Image Information

Beautiful wall habitat display of a male and a female Alaskan pink salmon fish mount. These two specimens were caught in the Kenai river and are in their full spawning colors. At this point in their life cycle they do not make the best eating fare, but their colors are spectacular and they make a quality fish mount.

Note the color blending along the sides and upper backs of the pink salmon. The nuances of texture and color are there, yet are subtle. This type of painting is difficult to achieve and can only be brought about by a quality fish taxidermist.

Pink salmon scientific name: Oncorhynchus gorbuscha
