When a salmon egg hatches, the young is called an "alevin" . At this time it still depends on the yolk sac for nutrition. Between 5 or 10 weeks, the salmon is called a "fry" and begins to look like a typical fish in shape and colour. After several months, when the fish has developed its tiger-like markings, it is known as a "parr". Finally, after about 3 years, the parr ages into a "smolt", which is the last stage of life before typical adulthood
