Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

The Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is one of the most iconic fish of the North Atlantic, known for its remarkable life cycle and long migrations between freshwater rivers and the open ocean. Born in streams, young salmon spend their early years in freshwater before undergoing a transformation that allows them to survive in saltwater. As adults, they travel thousands of kilometers through the sea before returning to their natal rivers to spawn.
