Smolt salmon, which are young salmon transitioning from freshwater to saltwater, are preyed upon by various predators. Common predators include birds like herons and gulls, as well as fish such as larger salmon, trout, and pike. Additionally, marine mammals like seals and sea lions also target smolts during their migration to the ocean. These predators play a crucial role in regulating salmon populations in aquatic ecosystems.
