<< 8/12 < > Salmon can undertake extensive ocean migrations of over 3,000 miles, and average approximately 18 miles per day depending on the species. Generally, juvenile salmon from southwestern Alaska streams migrate from the Bristol and Kuskokwim bays through the Aleutian Island chain into the northern Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Alaska. Some salmon populations may use the Bering Sea extensively. Movement of salmon in the ocean is thought to be timed to take advantage of seasonal food availability and ocean conditions.
