A salmon is a type of fish belonging to the family Salmonidae. These fish are well-known for their distinctive pinkish flesh, which is a result of their diet rich in carotenoids found in their natural habitats. Salmon are famous for their incredible migratory behavior, traveling thousands of miles from the ocean to freshwater rivers and streams to spawn. They are also important both ecologically and economically, serving as a key food source for various wildlife and humans alike. In various cultures, salmon symbolizes strength and endurance, particularly due to their challenging upstream journeys during spawning season.
