Salmon usually swim upstream to lay their eggs and die in the upper side of the river, this is when bears and such animals get their chance to hunt them as they are slowed by the current and are forced to jump put of the water to pass obstacles.

As a matter of fact yes. When it comes time to mate salmon will swim from the ocean to the place they were born in order to lay their eggs. When the babies are born they will go downstream to the ocean. Then the next year the now adult salmon will repeat the cycle.

If the Koi is swimming down, it is because of preference. The story of the Koi was, it swam upstream against the current to reach a calm serene pool in front of the royal palace, where it then transformed into a dragon to protect the King.
