Description
Salmon are anadromous - they are born in freshwater creeks, travel downstream to the ocean for a few years, then they find and swim upstream to spawn in their native waters! Amazing! They often swim long distances and encounter dams, fish ladders, fisherman, and other predators. I worked as a fisheries biologist before I started painting, trying to help maintain and promote wild fishery in the Northwest. (I am also a fisherman and avid consumer of salmon.)
