SALMON INFORMATION
Salmon are the second most popular fish consumed in the United States though most of them are farm raised. Atlantic salmon are heavily protected, as are coho and sockeye in different parts of the country. Pacific salmon like the chinook, or king salmon, are fairing much better.
They are an ‘anadromous’ fish, meaning they can survive in both fresh and salt water. They are born in fresh water before heading out into the ocean, and then return to the fresh water to spawn.
When the time comes to swim upstream and spawn, they have been known to travel great distances. One chinook salmon was known to have traveled nearly 2400 miles. They don’t eat at all during their upstream swim, and most salmon will die from exhaustion after spawning.
All-in-all they are fun to catch, delicious as well as nutritious, and make a fantastic wall mount.
