The diagrams below show the life cycle of a species of fish is called salmon.

The diagrams display information about the lifespan of

salmon

.

Overall

, it is evident from the illustration that

this

is a cyclic process and is composed of three stages which start from the egg stage and end up as an adult. All cycles happen in different places. At first glance,

it is clear that

fish lays eggs on the reeds where there are

also

a large number of small stones. The water of the upper

river

usually moves slowly and, in

this

state, eggs lie here for approximately 5 to 6 months. Once it has been hatched, the fry which is 3 to 8 cm long moves to the lower

river

which flows faster as compared to the upper

river

. In

this

river

, it lives around about 4 years but later it is ready for living its

life

in the ocean. In

this

part of

life

, fry becomes smolt which has a length between 12-15 cm.

This

small fish survives in the open sea for a long time and spends most of its

life

here. It takes 5 years before the smolt is grown into adult

Salmon

and at

this

point, its length is 7 to 76 cm in total.

This

salmon

again lays eggs on plants and the

life

cycle of a new

Salmon

fish begins from here.
