Big Atlantic Salmon inspects a female

On a spawning ground, in a Norwegian river, a male salmon can have several femals.
Every now and then the males take an inspection tour to see how far the femals are from spawning.
Moments for the memorybook for a cameraman.

First part of the spawning season the rivers was very low on water.
It was a struggle to get the camera low enough to film the Salmon under water, and be careful enough without disturbing the fish or the nests.

The Salmon miracle

This is a miracle. From a small roe of 4mm, a small creature enters the world. If it gets the chance to grow up, it has the opportunity to become a 25 kg salmon. It will probably not happen in Repparfjordelva in Norway anymore. The government has decided to give NUSSIR ASA, a mining company, the right to dump 30 million tonns of mine waste into the fjord.
