The life cycle of the salmon is a captivating journey.

It shows how they adapt


and survive in different environments and how ecosystems are connected.

Overall, salmon have an average life circle about over 9 years and they
conclude 4 steps : egg, fry, smolt, adult. This begins when salmon eggs are in
the slow-moving where is an upper river, surroundings with reeds and small
stones. It takes about 5 - 6 months to keep the eggs. Once hatched, the size of
the fish is quite small, around 3-8 centimeters. They go through the fast-
flowing river until 4 years.

Then when they reach 12 -15 centimeters, the fish start their journey
downstream to the open sea. This step is called “smolt”. These grow up to adult
size, about 70-76 centimeters. Upon reaching maturity, adult salmon return to
their ratal rivers to spawn, completing the life cycle. This exploration looks into
their journey, showing both the difficulties and victories they face.
