Strike a Pose - The Fin-tastic Atlantic Salmon of Gaspe Peninsula!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this portrait, we witness the incredible journey of an Atlantic salmon as it migrates to spawn in the pristine rivers of Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula. With its vibrant scales shimmering under the October sun, this magnificent ray-finned fish is truly a sight to behold. As it gracefully navigates through the flowing waters, our finned friend showcases its natural beauty and strength. Its streamlined body and determined expression capture the essence of animal behavior at its finest. Known by many names - black salmon, bay salmon, or even diffler - this regal creature belongs to the esteemed family of salmonidae. Its scientific name Salmo salar only adds to its noble reputation in both North America and beyond. This underwater marvel reminds us that nature's wonders extend far below the surface. From its percomorphi origins to being part of osteichthyes (bony fish), every detail tells a story about evolution's masterpiece. So let your imagination swim alongside this remarkable Atlantic salmon as it embarks on an epic migration. Join us in celebrating wildlife photography maestro Nick Hawkins for capturing such a breathtaking moment that encapsulates not just one species but also highlights Canada's rich biodiversity. Remember, when you look closely enough at nature's canvas, you'll find endless tales waiting to be told!
