Overall, it shows the salmon develops in three major stages from a Fry to an adult Salmon. At each stage, the size of the fish and their habitats change.

Body Paragraph 1

Salmon eggs are laid in the upper river, which is slow-moving, among small stones and reeds. After 5 to 6 months, they are hatched into the first stage of Salmon fish ‘Fry’. It is around 3 to 8 cm in length. They migrate to the fast-moving lower river. In about four years, they develop into the next stage called smolt, which then migrate to the sea.

Body Paragraph 2

The smolt, which is 12 to 15 cm in length, matures into an adult Salmon of 70 to 76 cm in almost five years.  Then adult salmon travels back to the upper river to lay eggs.
