The diagrams below show the life cycle of a species of large fish called the salmon. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The provided charts display the cycle of life of

salmon

, one of the big fish species. The first diagram shows the

salmon

’s life cycle from egg, fry, smolt, and adult

salmon

, before continuing to the next cycle again

in addition

to the specific location per phase.

Furthermore

, the second image box shares additional information on the size per

salmon

’s phase, which is possible to grow more than 25x in an adult state. In the upper river with slow-moving water,

salmon

lay eggs and carefully hide them under the reeds and between the small stones.

Then

, approximately 5 to 6 months later, the eggs hatch and the

salmon

fries swim downstream to the lower river with the faster water current. After spending 4 years there, the 4-year-old of

salmon

smolts

finally

moves to the open sea and settles here for the next 5 years before moving back to the upper river again to lay the egg again.

While

salmon

fries are only measured at 3 to 8 cm, they could grow up to 5 times its size to 12 to 15 cm in the smolt state before turning adult and increasing in length to 70 to 76 cm.
