Salmon

Salmons By:Derek

Salmon are common fish but they're in big danger. The population of salmon is decreasing. In the B.C coast salmon started to decrease too, so to stop slamon from being decreased we are helping them by taking some eggs and raising them in our classroom instead of being out in the dangerous rivers trying to avoid being eaten by predators. Salmon goes many life cycles which are: Egg, Alevin, Fry, Parr, Smolt, Adult, Spawning Adult. The egg stage takes about 3 months. Alevin and Fry will take a several weeks. The stage, Parr, is when salmon develop to grow older and start to go on their way to the ocean. The stage, Smolt, is when salmon get ready to go into the ocean water. The adult stage can last anywhere between 1-3 years. After that stage, the salmons go to their habitat where they were born, or released. Once it finds a mate, they lay eggs. Wlhen they lay eggs, they become spawning adults. After they do this they only live 2-3 weeks until they die. So when salmons hatch from its egg, it can not see or find their mother. If you ask how they find their way back home, they will sense the surroundings, and feelings when they go to spawn and protect their eggs before they die. There are 7 types of salmon species. They are called: Sockeye, Chum, Coho, Stealhead, Chinook, Pink, and Trout. They all have different styles and looks. We could save them by not capturing them and having the for dinner or a snack. Also, everyone loves the salmons' taste, but we also want to save them.
