Some kinds of fish are born in rivers, but swim away from the place they were born and live their lives elsewhere. When they are ready to reproduce (spawn) they swim back to where they were born to lay eggs or fertlise them. So they migrate downriver to live, and migrate back upriver to spawn.

Is it possible for milk fish to stay longer on freshwater?
I don't know exactly what you are asking. Milkfish (Chanos chanos) are spawned in the ocean and eventually migrate to fresh water where they grow on to become adults. Once they are adult they migrate again back into the ocean to spawn. I assume their life cycle is the opposite to the Salmon who live in the ocean but return to the fresh water to spawn.
