The film presents the complete life cycle of the sockeye salmon from laying and fertilization of the eggs, through the development of the sac fry and the growth of the young fish. Continues with the long journey of the fingerlings to the sea and the final return of the mature salmon to their birthplace, where they die after spawning. Photographed and produced by Paul L. Hoefler. (0:53) Close-up of Pacific sockeye salmon in a stream in British Columbia.
