Sockeye and Chinook salmon

swim farther into the ocean.

They may swim more than

2,600 miles (4184.3 km)

from their river home.

At some point, all salmon travel

home. Chinook will stay out

at sea for as long as six years.

Sockeye salmon swim home

after one to four years.

Swimming Upstream

Salmon return to the same river

or stream they were born in. This

usually happens in the fall. The

swim upstream is a difficult one.

Hungry bears can be waiting!

The salmon that make it home

have changed color. Sockeye

and coho salmon turn bright

red. This means they are ready

to spawn.
