Show SALMON NEEDS SALT WATER Confined In Lake, with No Approich to the Sea, the Fish Itapldly Bccomo Dwarfed. Tho namo salmon Is given In England Eng-land and all eastern states to a large, trout-llko fish which lives in the sea, chiefly about the mouths of rivers, and which enters the streams to spawn, running for a considerable distanco up tho stream and returning to the sea after the act of spawning Is accomplished, ac-complished, says a writer in tho Pacific Pa-cific Monthly. Tho old males becomo somevhat distorted, especially through the lengthening of tho Jaws, but tho changes with ago and season are not much greater than In any largo trout. The truo salmon, like tho true trout, Is black spotted. It is called In science sci-ence Salmo salar, and along with ths truo trout It belongs to tho gonus Salmo. Thero Is only one species of Atlantic salmon; It Is found on both sides of tho ocean, and on both sides It becomes sometimes land-locked and dwarfish when It Is shut up In a lako and when It cannot or docs not go to the sea. |
