The Quiz: Which fish can travel over 1,000 miles annually in the Pacific Northwest?
Salmon
Tuna
Cod
Herring
When Pacific salmon mature, they start their journey upstream to reach their feeding grounds in the Pacific Ocean — a journey that can reach upwards of 1,000 miles. After a lifetime of growing in the Pacific Ocean, salmon return to the riverbed of their birth, lay eggs, and then die shortly after. During the run, the fish fight the current, leaping and dodging dams and predators such as bears.
The correct answer to this quiz is Salmon.
