Atlantic Salmon

Salmo salar

Rank
Species

Atlantic salmon are powerful migratory fish that make extraordinary journeys between rivers and ocean. In coastal waters and estuaries, they appear sleek and silvery before their spawning run upstream. Divers may encounter them in cool, fast-flowing rivers during autumn and winter months, where they navigate rapids and waterfalls with remarkable determination to reach their natal spawning grounds.
