Born to Run
Nature's abstract of a school of salmon during the Fall 2005 salmon run at the Big Qualicum River hatchery, Qualicum North, Vancouver Island, BC
Salmon mostly spend their early life in freshwater rivers, and then swim out to ocean waters to live until they gain most of their body mass and mature. Usually after four years, they traverse thousands of kilometers of sea and freshwater to spawn in early autumn and then die for their young!
