Iisalmon ziintlanzi. Ubukhulu becala bahlala kulwandlekazi olukhulu, oluluLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki okanye uLwandlekazi lwePasifiki. I-Salmon inokukhula ukuya kwi-150 yeesentimitha ubude kwaye inobunzima obufikelela kwiikhilogram ezingama-35. Zitya oononkala abancinci kunye neentlanzi ezincinci.
Kukho iintlobo ezilithoba ezahlukeneyo zesalmon ezithi xa zidibene zenze usapho lwezilwanyana. Bonke baphila ngokufana kakhulu: bafumana ukuzalwa emlanjeni, kwaye kamva baqubha elwandle. Inye kuphela ngaphandle, yile salmon yaseDanube. Uhlala ehlala emlanjeni.
Zonke ezinye iisalmon zichitha inxalenye ephakathi yobomi bazo elwandle. Noko ke, inzala yabo iba semfuleni. Ukwenza oku, baqubha ukusuka elwandle ukuya kwimilambo emikhulu, ecocekileyo. Ngamanye amaxesha unqoba imiqobo emikhulu ngale ndlela, umzekelo, iingxangxasi. Imazi izalela amaqanda ayo kufutshane nomthombo. Kwakhona inkunzi ikhuphela iiseli zayo zamadlozi emanzini. Kulapho ukuchumisa kwenzeka khona. Emva koko, uninzi lwesalmon lufa ngenxa yokudinwa.
Emva kokuqanduselwa, amantshontsho ahlala emlanjeni unyaka omnye ukuya kwemibini. Emva koko, isalmon encinane idada elwandle. Apho zikhula iminyaka embalwa zize zidabhise zinyuke kumlambo omnye. Bafumana yonke ijika, nakwimijelo emincinci, kwaye ekugqibeleni, bafikelele kwindawo yokuzalwa kwabo. Apho ukuveliswa kwenzeka kwakhona.
Iisalmon zibaluleke kakhulu kwindalo. Zingaphezu kwama-200 iintlobo zezilwanyana ezahlukeneyo ezitya isalmon. Ngokomzekelo, ibhere elimdaka eAlaska, kufuneka litye iisalmon ezingamashumi amathathu ngosuku ekwindla ukuze libe namafutha aneleyo emzimbeni walo ukuze likwazi ukuphila ebusika. Isalmon eye yafa ngenxa yokudinwa iba sisichumisi, ngaloo ndlela isondla izilwanyana ezincinane ezininzi.
Noko ke, kwimilambo emininzi, iisalmon ziye zatshabalala ngenxa yokuba bezilotywa kakhulu nangenxa yokuba kuye kwakhiwa amadama emilanjeni. Malunga nowe-1960 isalmon yokugqibela yabonwa eJamani naseBasel, eSwitzerland. Kukho imilambo emininzi eYurophu apho isalmon yolutsha iye yakhululwa kweminye imilambo ukuze isalmon iphinde ibe yinzalelwane. Iileli ezininzi zeentlanzi ziye zakhiwa emilanjeni ukuze zoyise iindawo zombane. Kwi-2008, i-salmon yokuqala yafunyanwa kwakhona e-Basel.
Nangona kunjalo, iisalmon ezininzi kwiivenkile zethu ezinkulu aziveli endle, ziye zalinywa. Amaqanda achumileyo akhuliswa emanzini amatsha kwiingqayi kunye neetanki ezikhethekileyo. Emva koko isalmon ifuduselwa kwiigridi ezinkulu elwandle. Apho kufuneka ubondle iintlanzi, ekufuneka uzibambe elwandle kwangaphambili. Iisalmon ezifuywayo zihlala zifuna amayeza amaninzi kuba isalmon ihlala kwindawo encinci.
