Although salmon are born in freshwater rivers they spend their lives at sea.

After spawning they spend a couple of years making their way down river to the sea.

They then adapt to sea water and spend up to two years at sea before swimming back to the actual river they were spawned in.

There they lay their eggs and die within two weeks, enriching the river with food for their young to repeat the cycle all over again.
