Atlantic salmon are truly magnificent fish. They ooze power and strength as they make the spectacular leaps up raging rivers to their spawning grounds. They are accomplished navigators too, able to return to the exact spot they were born from thousands of miles away.

Out at sea, they stay in the surface waters, venturing no deeper than 10 metres down. Their diet consists of other fish, squid and shrimp.
