It thrives in cold, oxygen-rich rivers and coastal ocean areas in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, and can live in temperatures ranging from 0 to 20 degrees Celsius depending on its life stage. Salmon can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh over 40 kg. The main salmon fishing season, both in rivers and at sea, typically occurs during the summer and autumn months, often from June to September, but it's available from aquaculture year-round. Salmon meat is firm and rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3, as well as vitamin D and B12.
