Although salmon are born in freshwater rivers they spend their lives at sea.

After spawning they spend a couple of years making their way down river to the sea.

They then adapt to sea water and spend up to two years at sea before swimming back to the actual river they were spawned in.

There they lay their eggs and die within two weeks, enriching the river with food for their young to repeat the cycle all over again.

Anadromous salmon are born in fresh water, travel to the sea to live, then swim back up the same waterways to where they were born so they can spawn.

They spawn in fresh water and then die. The fry make their way to the ocean where they grow to adulthood and then they return to fresh water to spawn and die.
