Weaver Creek产卵通道建于1965年，为红鲑鱼提供了额外的产卵栖息地。该通道拥有约4.5万头成年鲑鱼。最近该通道的拥有从1000到10万成年鲑鱼不等。

Salmon’s life cycle（鲑鱼的寿命周期）

1. Fertilized egg stage – Every salmon starts out as an egg. These eggs will “incubate” for a certain amount of time depending on the type of salmon and the temperature of the water.

1、受精卵阶段-每一种鲑鱼一开始都是卵。这些卵会在一定的时间内“孵化”，这取决于鲑鱼的种类和水的温度。

2. Alevin stage –  These fish are still quite small and remain in the gravel beds safe from predators.

2、小鲑鱼阶段-这些鱼仍然非常小，它们仍然呆在沙砾床上，免受捕食者的侵扰。

3. Fry stage – Salmon in the fry stage have noticeable “parr” marks (except Pinks) that conceal the fish from predators.

3、Fry阶段-在Fry阶段的鲑鱼有明显的“parr”标记(除了粉红色)，它可以将鱼从捕食者中隐藏起来。

4. Smolt stage – Once the “parr” marks start wearing away and the salmon starts moving toward saltwater, it enters the smolt stage.

4、斯莫尔特阶段-一旦“pare”标志开始消失，鲑鱼开始向海水中移动，它就进入了斯莫尔特阶段。

5. Adult stage – Salmon are considered “adults” when they complete the migration from freshwater to saltwater.

5、成年阶段—鲑鱼在从淡水到盐水的过程中被认为是“成熟”阶段。

6. Spawner stage – At a certain point, the salmon will begin migrating back to freshwater where they enter the spawner stage. Salmon in this stage undergo tremendous physical changes, including their color.

6、产卵期—在特定的时间点，鲑鱼将开始回到淡水中，进入产卵期。鲑鱼在这一阶段经历了巨大的身体变化，包括它们的颜色。

Upon reaching the gravel beds, the females will lay their eggs in the gravel while the males fertilize them with something called “milt.”
