Salmon Fish

Salmon fish in urdu- Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout; the difference is often attributed to the migratory life of the salmon as compared to the residential behaviour of trout. Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water migrate to the ocean, and then return to fresh water to reproduce. Salmon is a popular food. Classified as an "oily fish", salmon is considered to be healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content. Salmon flesh is generally orange to red in colour, although there are some examples of white fleshed wild salmon.

The natural colour of salmon results from the presence of carotenoid pigments, largely astaxanthin but may also be due to canthaxanthin, in the flesh. Salmon are usually classified either as Pacific (Oncorhynchus family) or Atlantic (Salmo family) salmon, according to the ocean in which they are found. There is just one species of Atlantic salmon, while there are five species of Pacific salmon including chinook (or king), sockeye (or red), coho (or silver), pink and chum.
