They can migrate as far as Greenland before returning to native rivers in Canada
Answer2: In addition to the above comment, I read a very interesting article about the salmon. In order to breed many salmon species swim upstream, facing turbulent waters along the way. Instead of being overwhelmed by the rough water these fish actually take advantage of it. The do not plough through chaotic water. Instead when swimming upstream, they conserve energy by using vortices, or miniature whirlpools , that form where the water flow is disturbed by rocks, branches, or other objects. As the vortices form on alternating sides of an object, the fish curve their bodies from side to side and glide between the pockets of turbulence. Some schools of fish use the vortices created by the fish swimming in front of them, effectively riding in their wake. The fish can take advantage of rhe turbulence created by their own bodies. Researchers hope to borrow from the salmon's efficient swimming style to harvest energy from slow-moving water.
