The diagram below shows the life cycle of a species of large fish called the salmon. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparison where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the cycle of salmon comprising two parts which are in a river and open sea.

Overall

,

it is clear that

the cycle of fish species starts with the emergence of young salmon and ends with adult ones travelling back to their place to lay their

eggs

.

To begin

with,

eggs

are laying on small gravels surrounded by reeds in an upper river which has a low current. These

eggs

take approximately five to six months before hatching baby salmons so-called fry (3-8 centimetre long). They will now move to a lower river which has fast flowing

as well as

staying and growing in

this

area for around 4 years. After several years, The frys now grow into smolts which have a total length

12-15 centimetres and get ready to change their location from fresh water to salt water.

Furthermore

, after the smolts relocate to the open sea, they will need to live and survive for about 5 years before they turn into adult ones which have a length of 70-76 cm. After living in the sea for a

while

, they will return to their birthplace again to mate and lay their

eggs

.

Additionally

,

this

cycle will be repeated all over again.
