Seema, also sima and sema (Russian сима, Japanese サクラマス or ヤマメ), Japanese salmon, Masu salmon, or cherry salmon, Oncorhynchus masou, is a salmon of the western Pacific Ocean: (Kamchatka, Kuril Islands, Sakhalin, Primorsky Krai, Korea, Japan). A landlocked subspecies commonly called the Taiwanese salmon or Formosan salmon (Oncorhynchus masou formosanum) also exists in Taiwan.
This fish prefers a temperate climate, around the area of 65° N - 58° N, and in the sea, it prefers a depth range of 0 - 200 m.
A seema which has reached sexual maturity has a darkened back, and the stripes on the body sides become bright red with crimson tinge to merge on the abdomen into one common longitudinal band of lighter color. It is for this reason that it was given the name Cherry Salmon.
As adults, seema tend to weigh 2 to 2.5 kg and measure roughly 50 cm in length. The maximum size that can be attained by this species (which is in the region of Primorsky Krai) is 71 cm long and 9 kg in weight.
