Most of them live in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds with the exception of a few saltwater species. They are easily recognizable by their barbels on the upper jaw and, sometimes, snout and chin, which look like the whiskers of a cat, giving them their name.</p></div><div class="cardshelf-more">Learn more <i class="las la-angle-right"></i></div><div class="cardshelf-item-background"></div></a><a class="cardshelf-item" href="/en/mydiveguide/marine-life-detail/fishes-fresh/salmon"><div class="base-content"><div class="card-shelf-image"><img src="https://cdn.divessi.com/cached/Wildlife_Salmon_Alamy-Mark-Conlin.jpg/400.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy" /><div class="image-copyright">© Alamy-Mark Conlin</div></div><h3>Salmon</h3></div><div class="overlay-content"><p>When you google the word ‘salmon’ you won’t find a bunch of data on the species itself, but hundreds of delicious recipes as it is one of the most desired fish for eating around the world. It is the common name for any species of fish in the Salmonidae family, most of which occur naturally in North American waters, 5 in the Pacific Northwest and one in the Atlantic. Two occur only in Asia, the masu and amago, but they have been introduced into non-native environments in other parts of the world such as the Great Lakes of North America and the Patagonia of South America.</p></div><div class="cardshelf-more">Learn more <i class="las la-angle-right"></i></div><div class="cardshelf-item-background"></div></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="row divessi-content-fit constrain-mode-0" style=""><div class="col desktop-col-start-1 desktop-col-end-13 mobile-col-start-1 mobile-col-end-13" style=""></div></div></section><section class="divessi-highlight-background" style=""><div class="row grid-width-1920 constrain-mode-0" style=""><div class="col desktop-col-start-1 desktop-col-end-7 mobile-col-start-1 mobile-col-end-13" style=""><h4 class="tag-element" style=""> Check Out the Incredible Moments Water Enthusiasts Like You Experience Every Day with SSI </h4></div></div><div class="row grid-width-1920 constrain-mode-0" style=""><div class="col desktop-col-start-1 desktop-col-end-4 mobile-col-start-1 mobile-col-end-13" style=""><p class="tag-element" style=""> Did you just complete an SSI certification?
