The Life Cycle of a: Salmon - Book

Intended for ages 6-12, The Life Cycle of a Salmon looks at the growth of a salmon from egg to adult, and provides children with a thorough account of the five distinct stages of a salmon's life cycle: egg, alevin, fry, smolt, and adult.

The Life Cycle of a Salmon, by Bobbie Kalman and Rebecca Sjonger, published by Crabtree in 2006, traces the remarkable journey of salmon from freshwater streams to the ocean and back.

The book follows the five stages of the salmon life cycle, egg, alevin, fry, smolt and adult, and introduces several salmon species. It also explains how camouflage helps young fish survive. The clear text and photographs make it a good choice for young naturalists and for classroom life-science lessons.
