    The life cycle of salmon has three stages - fry, smolt, and adult. Salmon eggs hatch in upper rivers and develop into fry for 5-6 months, then fry migrate to lower rivers and grow into smolts over 4 years, before moving to the open sea to mature into adults for around 5 years, after which they return to their original rivers to spawn and complete the cycle.

    river, which fast flowing, and stay there around 4 year. In this river fries grow to smolts(12-15cm).
