nSalmon is considered by most to be really delicious – and it’s also healthy to eat.
n
n
n

n

nBut salmon isn’t just a food – it’s the creature that food comes from. It’s a fascinating fish!

nSalmon are famous for their life cycle and migration. They are born in fresh water, but they migrate to the ocean for much of their life, and then they return to fresh water to reproduce. This return to their origins involves, not just swimming upstream, but also using their olfactory memory (their smell-memory) to home in on their birthplace. They even have to JUMP up waterfalls and cataracts.
