Cannibalism in salmon has not been registered to date.
I do not doubt that salmon would eat their own young, as most salmonids do (trout are notorious for turning "cannibal"), given the opportunity. However, salmon stop eating before returning to freshwater (their feeding teeth fall out also), otherwise a decent run would entirely decimate the fish stocks of their home river as they passed upstream. I have personally witnessed a male Atlantic salmon kill a salmon "parr" (juvenile salmon of approx. 6 inches), but this is as likely to be territorial behavior as any kind of feeding reflex.

Is there a difference between Atlantic salmon and Pacific salmon?
Not sure what kinds of differences you are looking for, but they are different species. Atlantic salmon are members of the species Salmo salar. Pacific salmon in the US are made of 5 different species, all in the genus Onchorhynchus. These are the Chinook (O. tshawytscha), chum (O. keta), coho (O. kisutch), pink (O. gorbuscha), and sockeye salmon (O. nerka). Steelhead (O. mykiss) are actually not a salmon, but an ocean running type of rainbow trout. All of these are members of the family Salmonidae.
Also, most Atlantic salmon are farm raised today, whereas most Pacific salmon are wild caught.
** Also a key difference is that the Pacific salmon the "true" salmon die after spawning. The Atlantic salmon are able to spawn several times during their life.

Why salmon fish go against the stream?
Salmon swim up stream to return to the streams where they were spawned so they can reproduce and start the next generation of salmon.
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 the turbulence created by their own bodies. Researchers hope to borrow from the salmon's efficient swimming style to harvest energy from slow-moving water. (from 12/10 Awake Magazine p. 25 on Jehovah's Witnesses official website)
