This colophon was written by Nicole Arigo. If the page count exceeds RepKover s limit, perfect binding is used. Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. Two of the most common salmon are the Pacific salmon and the Atlantic salmon.
Pacific salmon live in the northern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of North America and Asia.
There are five subspecies of Pacific salmon, with an average weight of ten to thirty pounds and an average age of five years. Pacific salmon are born in the fall in freshwater stream gravel beds, where they incubate through the winter and emerge as inch-long fish. They live for a year or two in the stream or lake, and then head downstream to the ocean. There they live for a few years, before heading back upstream to their exact place of birth to spawn and then die. Atlantic salmon live in the northern Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of North America and Europe.
