Interpretation: Salmon, a collective name for the bony fishes Herringidae and Salmonidae, is an important cold-water economic fish in the world. . The body is elongated, flattened on the sides, covered with tiny round scales, with complete lateral lines. Most species of juvenile fish have black spots on the sides of the body. Distributed in the North Pacific and Northeast Atlantic and their coastal waters. It is an anadromous or freshwater fish in the northern hemisphere, and there are no species that live in the ocean for life.
Originally refers to a large salmonid fish, usually called Atlantic salmon, with the scientific name Salmo salar, but later pan salmon refers to all salmonid fish, especially those that make up the Malaysian salmon family. Pacific salmon of the genus Oncorhynchus.
Salmon are silvery white in the ocean, but their body color changes during the reproductive season, and the changes in body color are also different for different species. At this time, the male usually has a hook-shaped palate. The body color changes of Pacific salmon are very obvious. Adult fish move up rivers in spring or autumn, not looking for food along the way, but they will also swallow bait. The spawning grounds may not be far from the sea, but chinook and salmon have to travel more than 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) to the headwaters of the Yukon River to spawn. Migrating salmon are driven by instinct, resisting strong currents and jumping over high water heads before finally reaching their spawning grounds. Even if salmon in inland rivers mature in deep lakes, they still have to go up tributary streams to spawn.
Although Atlantic salmon is fished commercially in some areas, it is primarily considered a valuable sport fish. Chinook salmon and coho salmon are valuable sport fish in the large rivers along the Pacific coast. Commercial fishing of Pacific salmon catches millions of pounds of salmon every year, of which nearly half are pink salmon, 1/3 are salmon, and the rest are mostly sockeye salmon.
