Salmon, being one of the most sought-after fish species, is a rich source of numerous nutrients essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It is an excellent ingredient for preparing dishes through frying, baking, and cooking.. Moreover, smoked salmon can be a superb addition to bread or salads.
The Atlantic salmon - a species adapted to life in both the sea and rivers
The Atlantic salmon is considered as a marine fish, but it can also be found in rivers. It is a species that has adapted to two different environments, as it requires access to both salt and fresh water for proper development. Its most distinctive feature is its pink hue, which can vary depending on the specific species. The lifespan of this species can reach up to 10 years (an average of 4-6 years). The body weight of the Atlantic salmon is also highly variable - one can purchase salmon weighing around 5 kg, but it can reach up to 36 kg (M. Makomaska-Juchiewicz, P. Baran 2012).
