Other fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Salmon are native to tributaries of the North Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. Many species of salmon have been introduced into non-native environments such as the Great Lakes of North America and Patagonia in South America.

Salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world. Typically, salmon are anadromous and they hatch in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce.

However, populations of several species are restricted to fresh water through their lives. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they hatched to spawn. Tracking studies have shown this to be mostly true.
