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.

Can salmon reproduce several times in a life cycle.?
Salmon are generally classified into two groups based on their reproduction habits: anadromous and non-anadromous species. Most anadromous salmon, such as Pacific salmon (e.g., Chinook and Coho), typically spawn once and then die, a phenomenon known as semelparity. However, some species, like Atlantic salmon, can spawn multiple times throughout their lives, exhibiting iteroparity. In summary, while some salmon can reproduce several times, most Pacific salmon do not.

Where do salmon migrate to?
Salmon migrate in order to reproduce. Salmon live most of their lives in the ocean, but reproduce in rivers. Spawning time depends on the location. When it is time to spawn, the fish swim upriver. Many are caught by predators such as bears and humans. When the salmon reach the spawning grounds, they will mate, lay eggs, and die. After the eggs hatch, the young will swim downriver to the sea. The Copper River in Alaska is famous for salmon. Here is a more detailed article on salmon spawning. http://animals.howstuffworks.com/fish/salmon-info3.htm
Is salmon a renewable resourse?
Technically speaking, it would be a renewable resource, since salmon can lay eggs, or have fry. The only thing that would make them a non renewable resource would be if they were killed off to quick for them to reproduce.
