The chum salmon is a species of anadromous fish in the salmon family. It is a Pacific salmon, and may also be known as dog salmon or keta salmon, and is often marketed under the name silverbrite salmon. The name chum salmon comes from the Chinook Jargon term "tzum", meaning "spotted" or "marked", while "keta" in the scientific name comes from the Evenki language of Eastern Siberia via Russian.
