What does anadromous mean? It's a $10 word that characterizes a fish of incredible instinct (but questionable intelligence) that leaves a perfectly good ocean to swim up an increasingly polluted river, jumping rapids and small dams and dodging hungry bears who have been waiting for them for days (I saw this on Marty Stouffer once) and, upon reaching the exact place of its own birth (as much as 8,000 ft above the sea and many, many miles from where it started), lays a bunch of eggs. Then, leaving its eggs to hatch by themselves and play salmon roulette by trying to swim through the whirling blades of the turbines in the hydro-electric dams (creating one of the essential ingredients for salmonaid), it tries to return to the sea for another go but croaks instead. Doesn't this sound like an exciting life? No wonder they're becoming extinct. Someday there may be no salmon left but Leftover Salmon. A real pity... SERIOUSLY...
