SALMON
Salmon
They are naturally distributed throughout most of the northern hemisphere from the temperate zone to beyond the Arctic circle. Now is limited in a few rivers in eastern Maine and Canada. Pollution, impassable dams near the mouths of river, over fishing, destruction of spawning grounds through deforestation, and loss of young in power plant turbines have all contributed to the loss of this fish.
Atlantic Salmon begin their lives in freshwater and then travel to sea to feed for a few years. Then they return to the very river where they were hatched to reproduce.
