Atlantic salmon Make atremendous journey throughout their lives. They swim from little fresh water streams that they were born in into the north Atlantic Ocean. They then swim all the way back again to the same little stream they were born in and spawn. At the end of their journey most of the salmon die either from exhaustion or from disease.

For salmon, migration is a behavioral pattern developed by centuries of evolution. Some time in their evolutionary past, it was beneficial for salmon to migrate as it would increase the likelihood of surviving and passing on genes in some way.

Salmon generally migrate for one purpose: to reproduce. Food is more plentiful in the open ocean, which is why they live there as adults, but that environment is not very good for the survival of the young. For this reason, adult salmon migrate to smaller, fresh water rivers and streams to lay their eggs. There, they cannot be swept away by strong currents, are sheltered by aquatic plants, and they can feed on microorganisms suitable for a growing young salmon.

In short, salmon migrate to survive as a species.
