Daily fish fact #601

Coho salmon!

After exerting extreme amounts of energy travelling for hundreds of kilometers up rivers, fighting for nesting grounds, and finally reproducing, these fish die right after spawning. While doing so, they supply the river ecosystem with valuable resources: anadromous fishes are one of the only ways that nutrients can return back inland from the seas where they end up via water flow!
