Why does salmon die after spawning?
Because adult fish do not eat when they enter the reproductive period, their parents are thin after spawning.

Salmon is a cold-water migratory fish that spawns upstream. According to the time of upstream, it can be divided into two biota: summer biota and autumn biota. Only autumn salmon are found upstream in China, and most of them spawn downstream, and only a few reach upstream. After the fertilized eggs hatch, the larvae lurk in the dark between the gravel, and when they grow to millimeters, they begin to fall into the river and go to the sea. When they reach maturity, they will return to the freshwater river and return to the original breeding site to lay eggs.

Choose a place with clear water quality, rapid water flow, water temperature of 5~7℃ and gravel as the bottom material to lay eggs. The eggs are laid in a pit with a diameter of about 1 m and a depth of 30 cm. After spawning, the parents were emaciated and died after 7~ 14 days. Only breed for life 1 time.
