Salmon ( RBs - Animal )
By Peter Coates
•Publisher: --
•Pages: 216
•Edition: 1st., 2006
•ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1861892950
•ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781861892959
Description
One of the most striking stories we have taken from the lives of our fellow creatures is the one about the salmon’s last journey to do its ‘natural duty’ (to quote IzaakWalton).1 Whereas many
creatures reproduce season after season for as long as they live once they reach sexual maturity, the salmon’s entire life is geared toward a single act of reproduction in the frigid place of its birth that marks the culmination of its existence. Salmon fighting their way upstream to spawn is one of nature’s most
fantastic spectacles. Observing it on the Bol’shaya river on Siberia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, a Russian ichthyologist compared a school of migrating salmon a kilometre long and a hundred metres wide to ‘the noise of boiling water splashing in a gigantic cauldron’.
Enjoy!
