Salmonids
Salmonids are a diverse family of ray-finned fish that are typically found in cold, fresh waters throughout the Northern Hemisphere. They are known for their sleek, torpedo-shaped bodies and often vibrant coloration. Salmonids are highly prized by anglers for their fighting abilities and delicious flesh. Some common species of salmonids include salmon, trout, and char. These fish are known for their anadromous life cycle, in which they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean to grow and mature, and then return to their natal streams to spawn.
