Browsing: Salmon

Salmon are anadromous fish species, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean, and return to freshwater to spawn. Known for their incredible life cycle and migratory journeys, salmon play a vital role in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. They are a keystone species, supporting a variety of wildlife, including bears, birds, and other fish. Salmon are also a crucial resource for commercial and recreational fishing industries and hold cultural significance for many Indigenous peoples. However, salmon populations face threats from overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
