Jumping Salmon Photo (ID: 131)

Print Title: Sockeye Salmon in Rapids (Oncorhynchus nerka)

Greeting Card Caption: Sockeye salmon (a.k.a. "red" or "blueback" salmon) are anadromous, meaning they migrate from sea to freshwater systems to spawn. The determination of salmon in their arduous journey to the spawning grounds is unparalleled. Natural obstacles such as rapids and waterfalls are often impassable to weaker individuals, thus allowing only the fittest of the species to spawn.
