Fun Facts

1. Salmon is a species of fish which is found both in fresh water (rivers) and saline water (seas), depending on the stage of its development. The scientific name of the salmon family is Oncorhynchus (the prefix used for the Salmon family), which is followed by other suffixes depending upon the variety, such as Cherry Salmon or Pink Salmon.
2. Salmon have a peculiar life cycle. They lay their eggs near the mouth of rivers, where the eggs hatch, develop into fries and start their journey toward the sea. They grow into adult salmon in the sea, then go back to the rivers to reproduce, where most of them die after laying their eggs.
3. Proteins, or accumulations of amino acids, are essential components of our cells, tissues, enzymes, hormones and every other body part. The proteins from salmon, and most other fishes, are easily digestible and easily absorbed into the body.
4. Salmon is also a source of “good” cholesterol (omega-3 fatty acids) which also plays a vital role in keeping you healthy.
