About the Salmon and its types:

The Salmon is actually a species name and not the name of a single fish. Salmons are fishes whose fins are like rays. These salmons are born in rivers and streams and then they setup their homes in the oceans and seas and then they return to where they were born after a long stay of six years at the highest. They come back home using their strange memory power as they smell their ways back home to spawn. Some species actually spend their entire lives in the freshwaters. But for those that migrate, it becomes a huge problem if the water undergoes any change that can be caused by mining and so on. There are many types of salmons across the world, which include the following:

  • Atlantic salmon
  • Chinook salmon
  • Chum salmon
  • Pink salmon
  • Masu salmon
  • Coho salmon
  • Sockeye salmon
  • Adriatic salmon

  • Australian salmon
