How salmon reproduce?

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.


Will a salmon lay eggs with leathery shells or not?

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.
