A salmon is any of the various bony FISH of
the family Salmonidae. More specifically the
name is applied to several species of game
fishes of the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus
of North America and Eurasia that mature in
the ocean but, to spawn, return to the
freshwater streams where they were born.
Their normal colour is silvery with a few
dark spots, but the colour changes at the
spawning season.
