Back to the rivers of their birth after years at sea, Back to many rivers throughout the North West, including Williams Creek in Lakelse Lake Provincial Park. Sockeye ara arguably the best tasting of its four closest relatives: pinks, coho, chum and chinook. For this reason, thay were the first salmon species harvested by Europeans on a large scale on the west coast. But there is more to the sockeye than just a good meal. ‘They are amazing navigators, dare devils, gamblers and athletes. Sockaye begin their life cycle as eggs in rivar beds lined with pebble sized gravel. After the eggs hatch and the young sockeye have eaten all thelr yolk, they teed upon microscopic animals such as zooplanktn. After one Gr two yesrs, the salmon start to move into the ocean, During their ocean phase, which usually lasts two or three years, . they may travel thousands of kilometres roaming the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. In the ocean they mainly feed upon small animats such as Krill, a relative of shrimp. Finally, the sockeye enter the original river that they were born. In this river and its tributaries, they may travel over a thousand kilometres. without feeding, then spawn their eggs and die. But wait! How does the salmon know which river that they were bom in? After all, there are thousands of rivers -that pour- into the Pacific! And why do they fay so many eggs ence they have reached the river? And why do sockeye change in body shape and colour as they ‘ complate the last teg of their life cycle? These are not always easy questions to answer, yet even as you read this, all of these phenomena are occurring. Now is the time to watch this spectacular event and get same good answers.
