The main picture identifying the salmon is its freshwater phase, when it has been degraded substantially by the fresh water and will soon die. The ocean-going phase represents what it looks like through 99.9% of its life cycle. Uniquerman ( talk) 23:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

In addition, I wish to draw on agency reports and material and web material from: Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada; Alaska Department of Fish and Game; North Pacific Anandromous Fisheries Commission; Kamchatka Fishery and Oceanography Research Institute; Pacific Salmon Commission; College of Fisheries, University of Washington; University of British Columbia; Simon Fraser University.

The scientific content in this article is of low quality. There is more rigorous content available from the Pacific Salmon Commission. JDCAVE ( talk) 17:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
The scientific opinions on the effect of sea lice on the survival of juvenile Fraser River sockeye are extremely speculative. Sea lice are only one of many, many equally valid hypotheses for the decline in marine survival of these stocks. Again, I don't think that news paper articles should be used as supportive references for these claims. JDCAVE ( talk) 8 February 2010
While perhaps much of the info contained as of now in the "Conservation Status" section should be retained, much of the material concerning 2009 situation (and earlier) needs to be rewritten in the past tense. Things appeared one way a year ago, and definitely appear another way now! Some things about the endangered or threatened status of the species may still be accurate, but need to be reconsidered and no doubt reworded.
It's obvious that the Fraser River run of some 30 million sockeye – and some estimates have put it as high as 34 million – changes the picture. This year's run is regarded as an historic high point (as great or greater than the run of 1913). The info has been added, but is not currently integrated in this section. It's a jumble, and almost impossible, I'm sure, for anyone unfamiliar with the topic to decifer; fact-wise, you have to already know what to look for when you first read this section. Which is shabby. Joel Russ ( talk) 00:42, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
I just wish to put out that the Sockeye Salmon are almost EXCLUSIVELY found in the U.S. and Canada. So for the Diet and simmilar sections about the fish themselves SHOULD NOT BE MARKED for review on world-wide view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumbbell1023 ( talk • contribs) 22:48, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
I added more to the section on Diet, as well as, adding new reproduction and competition sections. VAleles ( talk) 01:14, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
1) Redundancy
→The fact that the larger males are favored appears multiple times in this article. The claims that are made under the assumption that larger males are preferred for mating could probably clumped into one section
2) Clarification in Hierarchy vs. Sneaking
→Does the fact that larger females tend to spawn in shallower waters have to do with dominance hierarchy? Because the previous sentences in this section talk about male dominance hierarchy.
3) Clarification in Morphological changes
→Specify at what instances the fish go through morphological changes.

It was pointed out multiple times throughout that larger males are favored, only really have to spell this out once
Morphological changes: some of the morphological changes are listed but there’s timeline
Parental Care: what are some ways in which the females engage in parental care
Juvenile: should define interactive segregation
During Reproduction: what are some aggressive behaviors that males engage in?
Reproduction: what are some qualities in a good nest environment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gopara ( talk • contribs) 04:41, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Good article overall! It really covers the subject in great depth. :) The following are a few suggestions for improvement/changes I made:
I made some small grammatical changes to the introduction. There was a “to” missing and I added “as far as” before the distance the salmon travel to get to saltwater areas. I also changed “saltwater areas” to “the ocean”.
“Landlocked populations occur in the Yukon Territory and British Columbia in Canada, and in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, New York, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming in the United States.” This sentence is long and confusing. I would recommend breaking it up.
What is a redd? This is never explained, nor was there a link for clarification (this might be because there is not Wikipedia page for the redd we would want to include…just a band from Turky). Claire.Edelman ( talk) 20:22, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sockeye salmon's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

They can be up to 84 cm in length and weigh anywhere from 2.3 to 7 kg. Juveniles remain in freshwater until they are ready to migrate to the ocean, over distances of up to 1,600 km.
— It's really annoying to pull up an article about a fish found in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and find it's description, etc., rendered only in metric units, i.e. kg., km. Sca ( talk) 22:27, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
