Spawning sockeye salmon
Spawning sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). Adult male (centre) and female (left) spawners swimming upstream to spawn. Sockeye salmon are anadromous, meaning they migrate from the ocean to spawn in the river of their birth. Spawners assume a vibrant red colour with a green head. After spawning, the adults die. Photographed in the Adams River, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of spawning sockeye salmon in their natural habitat. In the heart of Canada's Adams River, an adult male and female can be seen swimming upstream with determination, ready to fulfill their biological destiny. These magnificent creatures are part of anadromous species, embarking on a remarkable journey from the ocean back to the river where they were born. As they approach their spawning grounds, these sockeye salmon undergo a stunning transformation. The males display vibrant shades of red while sporting a striking green head, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of crystal-clear waters and pebbled riverbeds. This image showcases not only the beauty but also highlights the fragility and resilience within nature. The life cycle of these fish is truly extraordinary; after successfully reproducing, both male and female adults sadly meet their end. However, through this sacrifice comes new life as countless eggs are laid in nests carefully crafted by females in gravel beds along the river. This photograph serves as a testament to the wonders found beneath our planet's surface – reminding us that even in remote corners like North America's rivers lies an intricate web of biology and interconnectedness that deserves our admiration and protection.
