Salmon eggs

Salmon eggs. Close-up of eggs of the pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). The small black dots visible in some of the eggs are the eyes of the young fish inside. These eggs are around two months old. The pink salmon is the smallest of the salmon, reaching around 50 centimetres in length and rarely exceeding 4 kilograms in weight. The females lay up to 2000 eggs. The pink salmon is found in the northern Pacific Ocean, and travels up rivers to spawn. Photographed at Chapman Creek Fish Hatchery, British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of salmon eggs up close. The image reveals a cluster of pink salmon eggs, belonging to the species Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, with some displaying tiny black dots that are actually the eyes of young fish developing inside. These particular eggs have reached approximately two months in age. The pink salmon is known for its petite size, typically measuring around 50 centimeters in length and weighing no more than 4 kilograms. Remarkably, female pink salmons can lay up to an impressive 2000 eggs during their reproductive cycle. This species inhabits the northern Pacific Ocean but undertakes an incredible journey upstream into rivers for spawning purposes. Photographed at Chapman Creek Fish Hatchery in British Columbia, Canada, this mesmerizing snapshot offers a glimpse into nature's intricate process of life creation. It captures not only the essence of these remarkable creatures but also highlights the importance of preserving their habitat and ensuring their survival. With its focus on nature, wildlife, and zoology themes, this stunning photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and appreciate Earth's diverse ecosystems.
