The diagrams show the life cycle of a species of large fish called Salmon.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The given diagrams give information about the different stages that are involved in the completion of the life cycle of a big fish named Salmon.
Overall, it can be noticed that the Salmon completes its life cycle of nine years in different water bodies, as the eggs are laid in the river, whereas adult salmon spends approximately 5 years of its life in the open sea.
In the first stage of the life cycle, eggs are laid by adult Salmon among small stones under the reeds in the slow-moving upper river. After the hatching of eggs gets completed in 5-6 months, a small Salmon fish also known as fry emerges, which is 3-8 cm long. The fry swims to the lower river, where water is flowing fast, and lives in this habitat for approximately 4 years. Here, it grows bigger and is called a smolt, which is 12-15 cm in length.
Finally, it heads towards the ocean and metamorphoses into fully grown adult Salmon, which measures 60-70cm. The adult Salmon spends around 5 years in the open sea before moving to the upper river to spawn again and the life cycle continues.
