 Atlantic salmon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, from the Latin words "Salmo" meaning salmon, and "salar" meaning "leaper") is a fish species of the Salmonidae family found in the northern Atlantic Ocean and in rivers that flow into the Atlantic.
The Atlantic salmon follows an "anadromous" fish migration pattern, in that it undergoes its greatest feeding and growth in salt water; but adults return to spawn in native fresh water streams where the eggs hatch and juveniles grow through several distinct stages.
Atlantic salmon breed in the rivers of Western Europe from Northern Portugal north to Arctic Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and the east coast of North America from Connecticut in the United States north to Northern Labrador in Arctic Canada.

Many regard what is today identified as Co-op Atlantic’s ‘agri-food strategy’ as having begun in the mid-1990s when some beef producers asked management why, if the farmers were expected to buy all their inputs from Co-op Atlantic, there was not an equal commitment from the Co-op to buy the farmers’ beef.
Although Co-op Atlantic was able to mitigate the financial impact somewhat, the expensive 1,000-mile trip was hard on both the animals (who spent up to 32 hours on the truck) and on the farmers.
