#345271 Why do chinook salmon need to die after spawning?

Posted by tokaalmighty on 13 October 2020 - 11:38 AM in Steelhead and Salmon Fishing

I started fishing this year and it has been fun, lately I've been to bowmanville area and had my luck with the chinooks. Now I'm curious about why these fish need to die after just one spawning run? I read that they stopped eating when they begin their journey from the ocean, why? And if they didn't happen to die on the journey, and after spawning they didn't have energy to make a return trip to ocean so they would still die, but I read that chinooks spend their first year of life in fresh water, so they do have the ability to survive in fresh water, why do they need to return immediately? It just makes no sense why they have to necessarily die, what if after spawning they still have substantial livelihood remaining, do they just wait for their death? Please someone explain this to me. 




#345206 Need help with identifying these fish

These are near the shore of Thames river in London Ontario, very tiny. I'm wondering what fish are they and what they would look like as adults. Thanks for your help!
