Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family Salmonidae. Salmon are amadromous, meaning that they live in both Fresh and Salt water. A salmon lives in lots of different environments during its whole lifetime. They are born in a river or stream. They then make their trip towards the ocean where they live for most of their life growing, eating, and preparing. Then, they stop eating and travel back to where they are born into Fresh Water. There they lay their eggs and soon afterwards, they die.

What happens when a ship sails from seawater to fresh water?

When a ship sails from seawater to fresh water, the buoyancy of the ship increases because fresh water is less dense than seawater. This can cause the ship to ride higher in the water. Additionally, there may be a slight increase in the ship's speed due to the lower density of the fresh water offering less resistance to the hull.
