More Oncorhynchus nerka:
A male sockeye salmon, showing injuries sustained as it migrated hundreds of miles from the ocean up the Fraser River, swims upstream in the Adams River to reach the place where it will fertilize eggs laid by a female in the rocks. It will die soon after spawning. Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada
