The diagrams depict the life cycle of a large aquatic animal called Salmon. There are three major periods in the life cycle of Salmon fish.
In the first and foremost stage of the cycle, Salmon fish lay eggs beneath the small stones and reeds. Approximately after 5 to 6 months in the slow moving upper river, the eggs hatch out and form a tiny structured fish of 3-8 cms long. In the next four years, they stay in a fast flowing lower river and after becoming smolt (12-15 cms length) they move to large salt water bodies.
Finally, after half a decade, they become adult salmon. They grow 70 to 76 cms in length and are gigantic in size. In their final stages of the cycle, they stay in a large open sea.
Overall, Salmon eggs take half a year for hatching out and nearly a decade for growing into adult fish. The process repeats itself when the adult lays eggs in the fresh channels of water.
