Overall

,the

lifecycle

of the

salmon

has six main stages, from an egg to the development of the adult . The

lifecycle

commences when the adult

salmon

lays eggs on the underwater ground ,sheltered by small stones .

Then

, the eggs hatch into small fish known as " alevan", with only tail and eyes. In the remaining steps,

this

water creature grows in size over time.

For example

, the alevan continues life to develop its characteristic shape and length and becomes a " fry" with external gills and fins on each side. Next , it gets bigger about three or four times its original size and is known as a " parr" .

Finally

, during the sixth and seventh phases of the

lifecycle

, they are referred to as " smolt" and " adult" respectively.

However

the former is immature regarding width and length ,

while

the latter becomes a fully-grown

salmon

and the

lifecycle

begins again.
