Salmon: A Fish with a Rich History

Every year, wild salmon travel hundreds of miles upstream to reach their original hatching grounds. This remarkable journey is fraught with danger, from fierce river currents and predators like bears and birds, to the challenges of finding food in the harsh environment.

This book explores the life cycle of salmon, delving into its cultural significance and symbolic meaning across different societies. From myths about "the king of fish" to its current status as a product of fish hatcheries, Peter Coates examines the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural perspectives that shape our understanding of this fascinating fish.
