The image displays the "Life Cycle of Salmon" as a cyclical diagram with three numbered stages. The cycle begins in the Upper River (slow moving) where salmon eggs stay for approx 5-6 months among reeds and small stones. Stage 1 is the Fry, measuring 3-8cm, which then moves to the Lower River (fast flowing) for approx 4 years. Stage 2 is the Smolt, measuring 12-15cm, which travels to the Open Ocean for approx 5 years. Stage 3 is the Adult salmon, measuring 70-76cm, which swims from the ocean back to the Upper River to restart the cycle. A key at the bottom identifies: 1 Fry (3-8cm), 2 Smolt (12-15cm), and 3 Adult salmon (70-76cm).
Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The diagram illustrates the life cycle of salmon, which is a species of large fish.
Overall, salmon have a life span of nine years and their life cycle consists of four main stages: egg, fry, smolt, and adult. While the first three stages ocuur in fresh water, the last one takes place in saline water.
The life cycle begins when salmon eggs are laid among small stones at the base of the reeds in the upper part of the river, where the current is slow. After approximate 5 to 6 months, fry which measure 3 to 8 cm can be seen in the water. The fry then move to lower fast flowing part of the river. After growing and feeding there for about 4 years, they reach 12 to 15 cm in length and are called smolt.
They then head to the ocean, where they mature into adult salmon which on average are 70 to 76 cm long. They spend almost 5 years there and then migrate to their birthplace to spawn and the entire journey is repeated all over again.
