Salmon Life Cycle Directions: Salmon move from fresh water to salt water and back again. The steps in the life cycle of salmon are shown below, but they are out of order. Use the information below to help you order the steps.
Step in the Life Cycle Number of the Step
Fry hatch from eggs in the river.
They grow in the river for 1 to 2 years and become
fingerlings.
Smolt enter the ocean.
Smolt come back to the river and change to adult
salmon.
Fingerlings migrate downriver and become
smolt.
Adult salmon deposit eggs in the river (spawn)
and die.

3. Using what you know about what the birds and deer eat, why do you think the ecosystem changed from Picture 1 to Picture 2?
50 years later, there were fewer birds to eat the fish and the__
insects, so there are more fish and insects. Because there are ___
more fish, and fish eat plants, there are fewer plants in Picture 2.
