Salmons include seven species of Pacific salmon fish and one species of Atlantic salmon fish. Theyâ??re found in tributaries of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and most species are anadromous: They are born in streams and rivers, migrate out to the open sea, and then return to freshwater again to reproduce.
Salmon fish have sleek, streamlined bodies that typically change color throughout their lifetimes. While in freshwater, Atlantic salmon fish are brown and spotted. When they migrate to the ocean, they turn silvery. Atlantic salmon are the largest salmon species, typically growing to just under four feet in length.

Norwegian salmon has become the most popular fish in the world.
The worldâ??s first successfully bred salmon was placed in a corral in a Norwegian fjord outside Trondheim in 1970, by brothers Ove and Sivert Gr�¸ntvedt.
Australia accounts for more than half of the world's Atlantic salmon market, according to the FAO. Australia exports salmon to more than 100 countries around the world, more than 1 million tons in 2019, representing 14 million Norwegian salmon meals consumed every day.
