Five Fascinating Facts about Salmon - Never Stop Learning

From the creator

Without the plentiful salmon, Katmai's brown bears would not survive. Learn five fascinating facts about the salmon you see the bears fishing for at Brooks Falls. 1) Salmon spawn in freshwater and then head to the ocean where they’ll spend 2-5 years and gain 99% of their body mass in the ocean. 2)The Alaska Department of Fish and Game estimates there will be 51.3M salmon in the 2018 Bristol Bay salmon run. 3) This season, about 200,000 salmon will pass through Brooks Falls on their way from Naknek Lake to Brooks Lake. 4) Successful Sockeye salmon travel about 7,000 miles in their lifetime. 5) Adult brown bears eat between 10 and 40 fish a day to consume the calories they need to sustain them through winter hibernation.
