The family Salmonidae includes fish commonly known as salmon, trout, and char. These species are primarily found in freshwater and saltwater environments across the Northern Hemisphere. Salmonidae are known for their streamlined bodies and are often characterized by their vibrant colors, especially during spawning. They play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems and are important for both commercial and recreational fishing. Members of the Salmonidae family are anadromous, meaning they migrate from the ocean to freshwater rivers to spawn. They have a complex life cycle that includes distinct stages such as eggs, fry, and smolts. This family is also notable for its high nutritional value, making them a popular choice for human consumption.
