What is the symbiosis relationship of a grizzly bear that leaves the bodies of salmon as food for birds and small mammals?

When it comes down to it salmon do not maintain many symbiotic relationships but the ones that they do keep are quite important. Like most animals, salmon contain certain bacteria in their digestive system that allow for easier digestion and the breaking down of other tougher foods. It can be said that the lives of the bacteria are entwined with that of the fish being the bacteria will be unable to go anywhere unless eaten along with the salmon. Their relationship is symbiotic, because they both gain something from their interaction, otherwise it would be another of many other relationships, not all ending with two happy parties. One thing is certain though, we know that these bacteria have something to gain from the salmon, and vice-versa, because the interaction wouldn't take place if no organism was better off because of it.
