Salmon are fish and egg laying is the means by which fish reproduce themselves.
Salmon lay there fish upstream so fresh water fish wont eat their eggs. Also because, salmon grow up in salt water environment.

Salmon definitely go from the sea and up river to spawn (lay eggs)
To mate and lay their eggs.
Salmon and Steelhead
They lay several thousand eggs.
They hatch from eggs - then join the microscopic life in the stream. They 'chemically imprint' the 'taste' of the stream where they hatch, and are able to find their way back there to spawn once they reach maturity.Known as spawning: A female salmon will lay eggs in the upper reaches of streams and rivers, and the male will fertilise the eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the young salmon spend sometime in fresh water before heading out into the sea where they eventually become adults. They will return eventually to spawn in the same river in which they had been hatched.
No, salmon do not lay eggs with leathery shells. Instead, they lay eggs with soft, gelatinous envelopes that are typically transparent or slightly opaque. These eggs are deposited in gravel beds in freshwater streams or rivers, where they develop and hatch into fry. The soft nature of the eggs allows for better oxygen exchange during incubation.
No, only the female of ANY animal produces eggs.
