Atlantic Salmon
The Atlantic salmon begins its life in fresh water as an egg, an alevin, a fry and finally a parr before making its way towards the ocean as a smolt where it will feed up and grow to full size. The young salmon may spend up to four years at sea before returning to the river where it hatched. However, for a variety of reasons many young salmon never make it back. Those that do return to the river require clean water and a gravel bed to ensure successful breeding.
