The diagram 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 comparison where relevant.

The diagram depicts the life

cycle

of

salmon

, from

fry

to smolt, and

then

to adult

salmon

. It's a continuous process where the

salmon

perpetuate their species through spawning. Beginning with the release of

salmon

eggs into the slow-moving upper river near small stones and reeds, it takes approximately 5 to 6 months for the eggs to develop into

fry

, the initial stage of the

cycle

. During

this

to the fast-moving lower river. Within about 4 years, they transform into half-grown fish known as smolt, reaching a length of approximately 12 to 15 cm.

Following

this

stage, the smolt migrate to the ocean where they spend the next 5 years maturing into adult

salmon

. At

this

point, the adult

salmon

may be caught by fishermen, marking the conclusion of their life

cycle

.

However

, those that continue to grow eventually reach a length of around 70 to 76 cm and begin their journey back to freshwater to spawn.

This

completes one

of the

salmon

's life span, from larvae to spawn, perpetuating the species in an ongoing natural process.
