The process below show the life cycle of a specie of large fish called salmon

The picture illustrates the way in which the fish called salmon develop from

eggs

to adults. Three main stages are shown on the diagram. The salmon

eggs

and baby fishes live in the

river

,

then

swim into the ocean, and eventually turn back into the freshwater for laying

eggs

. Beginning at the process stage, we can see that the

eggs

are covered by small stones and reeds. It is protected there for around a half year in an upper

river

where the water flows softly. In the second stage, the

eggs

grow small fishes which are called “fry” with

size

Fix the agreement mistake

sizes

show examples

from 3 to 8 centimetres. The baby fishes follow the strong flowing water to live approximately 4 years

at the end

of the

river

. After 4 years, the size of the fish becomes 4 times larger and it is called “smolt”. To continue the cycle of life, the smolt swims into the ocean where they spend almost 5 years living. With

this

time, it becomes “adult salmon” with a size of 70-76 cm before it passes into the

river

to complete the cycle
