Colorful Sockeye Salmon fish

Sockeye salmon start off in freshwater lakes and rives, and eventually migrate to the ocean. As adults they then migrate in the reverse, back to the rivers and lakes to spawn!

It is a member of the salmonoid family. The farthest inland sockeye salmon travel to spawn is to Redfish Lake, Idaho, over 1,400 km (900 mi) from the ocean and 2,000 m (6,500 ft) in elevation. In the United States, populations of sockeye salmon have been extirpated from Idaho and Oregon.
