Salmon likes to live in low-temperature water, so it is mainly distributed in high-latitude waters, such as the Pacific Ocean, the northern Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.

However, although salmon are marine fish, they can also adapt to life in fresh water, and their breeding activities will be carried out in fresh water.

Salmon grow in the ocean. After 3-5 years, when they are sexually mature, they will spawn in fresh water.

1. Is salmon a marine fish or a freshwater salmon? It is one of the many fish species living in China, and it is a relatively famous fish.

From the attribute point of view, salmon belongs to marine fish.

There are many salmon living in China's sea areas, and the economic value of salmon is relatively high, which can often be seen in the market.

They are not only distributed in China's sea areas, but also widely distributed in the world.

However, because they require water temperature, they are mainly distributed in high latitudes.

For example, the Pacific Ocean and the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Arctic Ocean, live a relatively large number of salmon.

However, although salmon are marine fish, they don't stay in seawater all the time. They are breeding in fresh water.

In other words, salmon can adapt to both life in the ocean and life in fresh water.

Specifically, the growth and development process of salmon is carried out in seawater.

After about 3-5 years, salmon will generally reach the age of sexual maturity. At this time, if it is the right breeding season, they will go to fresh water to breed and lay eggs.

For example, there are many salmon that breed and lay eggs in the Heilongjiang River Basin during the breeding season.

Second, where does salmon live? As mentioned above, salmon is a marine fish, but not all their life activities are carried out in the ocean, but they have different living environments at different stages.

When salmon are still young and in the stage of growth and development, they live in the ocean.

Specifically, it is in the seawater with low water temperature at high latitude.

After 3-5 years, salmon can basically reach the age of sexual maturity, and then it can be propagated.

At this time, they will go to fresh water, live in fresh water, and reproduce in due course.
