or as input factors in other industrial processes. Directly or
indirectly, the livelihood of over 500 million people in
developing countries depends on fisheries and aquaculture
, here some of the common type of fishing fishes.

spawn in freshwater, and the. The Salmonidae are the most
highly developed of the herring like fishes, , and are
denizens of cold, oxygen-rich waters. In general they are

lakes.

17. Salmon Characteristics
Considered by scientists to be fairly primitive fish, salmon are
characterized by
• small scales, soft-rayed fins
• lobe-shaped fin on the back called the adipose

content of vitamin D and selenium found in salmon have also
been shown to be key agents in preventing unwanted
inflammation.
2) Cognitive Function the benefits of salmon intake for thinking
and the decreased risk of certain brain-related problems and
