Animal Description

About the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

The Atlantic salmon is a member of the Salmonidae family native to the North Atlantic. The Atlantic Salmon is the largest member of the genus Salmo with lengths upwards of 30 in. This species spends parts of its life in both fresh and saltwater. This occurs when the fish are spawning, and the eggs will utilize yolk nutrients until it runs out, then they will spend time growing until they make the long migration to the Atlantic. After sexual maturity is reached, the fish migrate back to their breeding grounds to repeat the cycle. With that being said, they display different colors when in freshwater versus saltwater. They will show a red/blue dot pattern in the freshwater phase, but they take on a silvery-blue coloring once they reach the Atlantic.
