Salmo salar
The Atlantic salmon is a large, migratory fish known for its incredible journey from freshwater rivers to the open ocean and back. Sleek and silver with distinctive black spots, these fish can leap remarkable heights to navigate waterfalls and obstacles during their spawning migrations. Atlantic salmon are highly valued both ecologically and economically, playing a key role in their native habitats and supporting important fisheries. Their lifecycle, which includes both freshwater and marine stages, is a classic example of anadromous migration.
