Sea FAQ What is an anadromous fish?
What is an anadromous fish? A catadromous fish?
An anadromous fish, born in
fresh water, spends most of its life in the sea and returns
to fresh water to spawn. Salmon, smelt, shad,
striped bass, and sturgeon are common examples.
A catadromous fish
does the opposite - lives in fresh water and enters salt water
to spawn. Most of the eels are catadromous.
