Red fish spawns chum salmon only once in a lifetime
Fish chum - is a passing fish of the family of salmonids. In Russia, in terms of catch volumes, it is only slightly inferior to pink salmon. In 2009, more than 90,000 tons were caught by the industrial method of this fish. He lives in the northern waters of the Pacific for 3 to 5 years, heats meat and fat, then enters the rivers and rises to the birthplace, overcoming up to 2000 km, even jumping over rapids and waterfalls several meters high. How this fish finds a place of birth - scientists have not yet figured out. Some believe that she remembers the "smell of the house." Others think that they remember the taste of the brook water, in which it hatched from the eggs. Still others assume that it is guided by a magnetic field.
Many representatives of the salmon family have two forms of existence: a passageway and a residential one. For example, fish sockeye forms and a continuous form, and residential. Residential formed in isolated lakes and is called kokani. Steelhead salmon has both a walk-through and a residential form, like a stream and a lake trout.
Fish chum is a checkpoint, because all her life she spends in the sea, and in adulthood "passes" into the rivers for spawning. It refers to the salmon species of the Pacific Ocean, which die after spawning. Why are they dying? There are several versions. The first. How to her, who lived in the sea and fed on plankton, crayfish and small marine fish, to feed themselves in the river with worms, snails, crayfish, freshwater fishes? The second. Sea fish, having gone a long way without food, spun out, has no more strength. Therefore, having given offspring, completes the earthly existence. There are other versions, but they are not proven to this day.
Bears do not just prefer caviar. They feel with an animal instinct that it contains up to 20% of proteins and virtually no carbohydrates. And vitamins are difficult to re-read. The scientists found that in the caviar and in the meat of the chum salmon they contain: retinol, folic and ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, calciferol, as well as macro- and microelements: potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, etc. It is interesting that thiamin is a protector from toxic The effects of alcohol and tobacco. If such a fish is regularly present in your menu, then expensive vitamins will not be needed. It has the most complete composition of those substances that are necessary for the normal life of living organisms. And in caviar they are even greater.
