Black Sea salmon is a large predatory fish from the salmon family. It lives in the Black Sea and enters rivers for spawning.
Black Sea salmon differs from common trout by its good tolerance to the salty water of the Black Sea. It is important for nature as a predator that regulates the population of small fish, and as a valuable species for preserving the biodiversity of rivers.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
