Another example of an important trophic relationship is that which has evolved between the Blakiston's fish-owl and its main prey Arctic grayling Thymallus arcticus and lenok Brachymstax lenok, which in tern rely on the stable riverine conditions that are provided by the untouched river valleys.

However, fossils found in the western United States reveal that by the end of the Miocene epoch (24 to 5 million years ago), the major branches of the subfamily Salmoninae were well established: One branch leads to the Eurasian lenok (Brachymystax) and taimen (Hucho), one to char (Salvelinus) with a Holarctic distribution, another to brown trout and Atlantic salmon (Salmo) of the Atlantic Ocean basins, and a fourth to Pacific salmon and trout (Oncorhynchus).
