Summary
[edit]DescriptionAugust 2005, Salmon return in droves to Gibraltar Creek (7136858127).jpg |
Look closely and you'll notice the dark shadow in the river is actually thousands of sockeye salmon! Every summer, millions of sockeye return from the saltwater of the ocean to spawn in the fresh waters of Bristol Bay. Their eggs hatch and develop into salmon fry that eventually return to the ocean. They grow in the ocean and return to Bristol Bay to repeat the cycle.
