Salmon fertilize their eggs through a process called external fertilization. After the female salmon lays her eggs in a nest called a redd, the male salmon releases sperm over the eggs to fertilize them. This usually occurs in freshwater streams where the salmon return to spawn. The fertilized eggs then develop in the gravel until they hatch into fry.

How much care do salmon parents give to their offspring?
Salmon parents exhibit minimal care for their offspring after spawning. Female salmon dig nests called redds in riverbeds to lay their eggs, while males fertilize them. Once the eggs are laid and fertilized, the adult salmon typically die shortly after, leaving the eggs and emerging fry to fend for themselves without parental protection or nurturing. This strategy emphasizes quantity over quality, as they produce thousands of eggs to ensure some survive to adulthood.
