migratory fish
Seasonally relocating swimmers
Migratory fish are species that travel between different bodies of water as part of their life cycle, typically for spawning, feeding, or seasonal survival.
Salmon migrate from ocean to freshwater rivers to reproduce; eels travel in reverse.
The dam blocked migratory fish from reaching their spawning grounds.
Conservation efforts often focus on maintaining migration routes.
