How do salmon live?

Salmon are migratory fish found in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, famous for their long migratory journey to spawn in freshwater rivers. They are carnivorous, feeding on smaller fish, invertebrates, and plankton during their time in the ocean. Salmon are anadromous, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the sea to grow, and then return to freshwater to reproduce. They typically spawn in the same river where they were born, using their keen sense of smell to navigate back. After spawning, most salmon die, completing their life cycle. Salmon are important to ecosystems, providing food for bears, birds, and other animals during their migration.
