life circle of Indian hilsa fish
Alaskan salmon head up river in the summer months because they are heading back to their spawning grounds. Last time they were there, they were not spawning, but hatching. Once the salmon spawn and lay eggs, they usually die around two weeks later.

They would have to travel all the way up the Mississippi River, then trade, then go back down the Mississippi River. I could imagine that it was a rough trip! =S

Salmon die after spawning due to exhaustion and malnutrition. As most salmon are sea fish, the environment of the creeks and streams are poisonous to them and they are unable to feed as they swim up stream. By the time they get to the spawning grounds they have used up their stores of energy and cannot get back to the sea. - got this from someone else not me :)
when a river winds back and forth, it is called meandering
