These juvenile salmon have narrow, oval-shaped parr marks that are centred on the side of the fish. They often have white & black leading edges on their dorsal & anal fins. Fins can have an orange tint, & anal fins have a sickle shape.

The secret to a salmon's dramatic hue? shrimp! 🦐 Salmon take up pigments called carotenoids through their crustacean-rich diet. They absorb and store these pigments in their flesh and skin, giving them their styling signature look. #nowyouknow #fishyfacts #wildsalmon
