Part 1, Why It's the way it is.

Today we're going to talk about fish, and we're going to talk about two different ways in which fish can use their habitats, like the ways they can use the places they live, and how to utilize their landscape or let's say their waterscape in order to have their babies.

So what we're going to talk about are these terms that seem complicated and hard to say and hard to spell, the two terms of this.

The first one is anadromous.

Okay. I'm going to spell it for you so you know. A-N-A. D-R-O-R-R. the two terms of this. The first one is anadromous. Okay?

I'm going to spell it for you so you know.

A-N-A-D-R-O-M-O-U-S.

Anadromous.

And anadromis has a, has an opposite.

The opposite of anadromis is

catadromous, catadrimus.

So that one is C-A-D m o u s we're going to start by talking about

the first one the one that starts with an a which is anadromous anadromous fish is a

fish that lives its life out in the ocean and then goes up a river in order to reproduce.

I think the most classic example of an enadromous fish is a salmon.

Okay.

In our country in the United States of America, we have six kinds of salmon.

There are five salmon in the Pacific Ocean, and there's just one kind of salmon, the Atlantic

salmon that lives in the Atlantic Ocean.

If you're curious about the five in the Pacific, I'll tell you what they are.

They all have two names, two common names.
