The diagraph in task 1 illustrates the life circulation of the

salmon species.
First, the salmon eggs are hidden in the upper river, among the
reeds and small stones with slow-moving waterline. After 5 to 6
months, the eggs hatch themselves and develop into a 3 to 5
centimeters long fish which is temporarily called fry.
The fry then migrates to the downer river with fast-flowing
water. This process can last up to 4 years. Then, the fry develops
into the smolt, a 12 to 15 cm long fish and make a migration to
the open sea and spend approximately 5 years in the ocean to
develop in to the adult salmon, which can be measured from 70
and up to 76 cm in length. The adult salmon then begin to swim
back to the upper river for the reproduction purpose and the
circulation renew itself.
In conclusion, the salmon has 4 individual physical states, from
the egg to the adult salmon. And change its habitat to 3 different
place from the river to the open sea.
