Chum Salmon’s Migration

December 23 , 2023 209 days 262 0
  • Chum salmon, a species of anadromous salmonid fish, have found a new location to spawn—the Arctic waters.
  • Chum salmon are said to be anadromous, which means they hatch in freshwater streams and rivers.
  • Then they migrate out to the saltwater environment of the ocean to feed and grow.
  • They do not reside in fresh water for an extended period.
  • Due to the climate change, the Arctic is becoming conducive for them to breed in large numbers.
