BREMERTON, Wash. —
Chum salmon appear to have
a cockroach-like resistance to
pollution.
Scientists at Washington
State University’s stormwa-
ter research center in Puyallup
recently made the surprising dis-
covery that chum are unaffected
by the same levels of toxic road
runoff that quickly kills their
coho cousins.
“Overall, the results were
very surprising because I
thought chum would show some
signs of getting sick, like we saw
with coho — but that didn’t hap-
pen,” Washington State ecotox-
icologist Jenifer McIntyre said.
Also known as dog salmon,
chum are the most plentiful
salmon species in Puget Sound.
They’ve maintained relatively
healthy populations while coho
and Chinook numbers have
plummeted.
Since 2012, the center has
taken coho raised at a Suqua-
mish Tribe hatchery and
exposed them to stormwater
captured from busy roadways.
The coho showed almost imme-
diate signs of illness and were
dead within 24 hours.
The same toxic cocktail appears
to have little affect on chum.
“Leading up to their deaths,
(coho) grew lethargic and
seemed confused, swimming
erratically near the water’s sur-
face and turning onto their
sides,” McIntyre said. “(Chum)
remained healthy looking and
alert. Even their blood chemis-
try was relatively unaffected.”
The chum also were from the
Suquamish Tribe’s hatchery on
Grover’s Creek near Indianola.

Results match
The results match a decade
of urban creek monitoring.
Coho in Seattle-area creeks
were observed dying at high
rates after heavy or light rainfall.
Rain picks up oil, heavy met-
als and other containments from
roofs, roads and parking lots and
funnels them into creeks.
Chum’s runoff resistance is a
mystery.
“We do not have the answer,
but I’m incredibly curious,”
McIntyre said.
Chum are considered the
most robust of the salmon
species. Even as newborns,
they leave protected freshwa-
ter streams and head to open
water earlier than other salmon
species.
