Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) an anadromous fish which means it spawns in fresh water and migrates to the sea for the main growing period. The salmon fry live in brooks and rivers for their first 2-5 years when they smoltify and leave the rivers in early summer at a weight of 20-40 g. Usually, one year later the adult salmon (2-4 kg) return to the rivers for spawning. The Atlantic salmon offers the greatest economic value and is the most sought-after freshwater fish in Iceland, categorized as such because sea-fishing for salmon is not permitted. It ascends about 100 rivers and streams, most of them located in the western half of the country.
