All the fishes lay eggs. The female fishes spawn eggs during the breeding season and the eggs are competitively fertilized by male fishes. The fertilization is external (takes place outside the body) using water as medium. Most of the eggs are microscopic and hence cannot be visualized. The larval stages released from the egg constitute the zooplankton.

C) Explain what would happen to the salmon's cells if this process did not occur?
I'm assuming you're talking about osmosis. If osmosis didn't occur, then the saltwater salmon couldn't adapt to freshwater and would suffer from a lack of water and too much salt in the cells, and the freshwater salmon would have too much water and not enough salt in it's cells. The saltwater salmon would shrivel up in freshwater, and the freshwater salmon would burst in saltwater.

How salmon reproduce?
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.
