Atlantic Salmon Atlantic salmon are renowned for leaping in their attempts to ascend waterfalls to reach spawning grounds. A very high percentage of salmon return to their natal streams to spawn. Spawning occurs in autumn and the large eggs overwinter buried in sand. Young spend 1-3 years in the river before going to sea as "smolts". Not all Atlantic salmon die after spawning and some spawn more than once. (Source: The Canadian Encyclopedia) |
