What it is

Wild salmon are several species of fish belonging to the genus Oncorhynchus, native to the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. They are anadromous, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean to grow, and return to freshwater to spawn. Wild salmon are harvested from their natural marine or riverine habitats.
