The diagram below shows the life cycle of the salmon.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the

main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates various stages in the life span

of a salmon. Overall, the process includes seven
stages, starting from starting with eggs and continuing
until they become fully grown spawning adults.
At the beginning of the life cycle, the female salmon
lays a massive number of eggs in freshwater, which
take about 3 months to hatch, and alevins feed on
yolk-sac for several subsequent weeks. In the stage
after that, alevin develops into a fry at between 5 and
10 weeks, has the appearance, and can swim as a
normal fish.
Several months later, a fry grows into a parr whose
body has ‘finger’ markings. In the next stage, the parr
becomes the smolt at the age of at least 1-3 years old.
At this point, the smolt has the characteristic of
gathering with their peers and heading out to sea.
Following that adult salmon normally spend 1 to 8
years at sea and the process ends when the spawning
adult migrates to spawning areas of rivers where they
will spawn and die for 2 weeks afterward.
This is the end of my report.
