File talk:Salmon (breeding color).jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The picture is of 2 female chum salmon. The top fish is older and in more decay than the bottom fish (probably still full with eggs/roe as can be seen by the rounded belly). As salmon return to the fresh water where they were born they stop eating and start to use up their energy stores/body fat and start to rot.
