#oncorhynchus — Public Fediverse posts

It is my great pleasure today to share one of my recently acquired holy grail figures with the blog, the Safari Ltd. sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), part of their Incredible Creatures line. Released in 2008 and retired in 2011, this figure came and went long before I began collecting extant animals. According to ToyAnimalWiki it is only one of two sockeye salmon toys ever made, with the […]

Last week we looked at the Safari Ltd. “catfish” which Safari was kind enough to identify not at the species level, or even family level, but at the order level. An order containing 3,000 species. The figure was pretty easy to identify but it does beg the question, why doesn’t Safari identify it more precisely on their website? They commissioned it after all. Well today we’re looking at […]

Coho Salmon (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

Here we are, the last fish release for general retail by Replica Toy Fish. Or, the last of the released fish, in truth all of the previous trout, charr, and salmon were all made available at the same time. In this instance, we have a coho salmon (or silver salmon), Oncorhynchus kisutch, another anadromous salmon species found along the coasts of both sides of the Pacific. And with that, we […]

Chinook Salmon (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

Here we are, back with another salmonid from Replica Toy Fish–but, as promised, not a trout! Or a charr for that matter. Instead, we are looking at an actual salmon figure, the Chinook salmon or king salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, released in the same wave as the rest of the previous trout and charr figures. Interestingly, this is the first fish that would not be considered primarily […]

Colorado River Cutthroat Trout (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

As mentioned in the last post about the greenback cutthroat trout we have one more trout from the October 2015 releases by Replica Toy Fish, and it’s another cutthroat trout variant. This one is the Colorado River Oncorhynchus virginalis pleuriticus another of the Rocky Mountain cutthroats “Uniquely Identifiable Evolutionary Units” (UIEU). And with our visit to this figure, that will bring us […]

Greenback Cutthroat Trout (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

And now another trout from the October 2015 releases by Replica Toy Fish. It hadn’t occurred to me until now, but it turns out that all of the salmonid species so far have been from the Pacific side of the salmonid family–except the the brown trout and the two versions of the brook trout (so far…foreshadow!) This has included the coastal rainbow and Little Kern golden trout, and now we are […]

Little Kern Golden Trout (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

Another 3″ figure from the Replica Toy Fish company, and it is indeed another in the salmon and trout series. Moreover, we are revisiting another western North American trout species, another of the rainbow trout subgroups which is far easier to determine–and much more distinctive. This time it is the Little Kern river golden trout Oncorhynchus mykiss whitei. This species is considered part […]

Rainbow Trout (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

Back with another figure in the Replica Toy Fish Salmon and Trout releases, this time a very familiar species, the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. More properly, based on the colouration and the North American focus of the company, this is likely meant to be one of the many subspecies of rainbow trout. The company was never great at identifying exact subspecies/species though, so it is […]
