Migrating salmon locate the stream where they were born primarily through a combination of olfactory cues and environmental memory. As they approach their natal rivers, they can detect unique chemical signatures in the water, which are specific to their birth stream. Additionally, they rely on their memory of the geographical and environmental features of their home stream, helping them navigate accurately during their return journey. This remarkable ability to recognize their birthplace is crucial for successful spawning.
