Distribution of producing area of salmon

Salmon is one of the most famous economic fish in the world, which is mainly distributed in the northern Pacific Ocean and the northern regions of Europe, Asia and America. Wild salmon is found in the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The main producing areas are Alaska and Canada in the United States. Russia and Japan also have a small amount of wild salmon.

Growth habits of salmon

Salmon is a migratory fish. After living in the river for 1 to 5 years, the salmon lives in the sea for 2 ~ 4 years, and the spawning period is from August to January of the following year. During the period of spawning and migration, they jump over small waterfalls and small dykes, and after a long journey, they struggle to reach the spawning ground without feeding. Every year, about July to October, thousands of salmon breed in the Adams section of the upper Fraser River in Canada.

After going through many difficulties, the salmon can reach the upstream calm lake to lay eggs. After spawning, the salmon dies, and at the end of its life, the hatched fry will return to the sea, and after growing up, they will migrate in flocks along the path taken by their elders, and it is strange that they can always accurately find the place where their mother spawns. Repeat the same solemn and stirring.

Selection method of salmon
