  1. Aegean Sea

    Linked via "freshwater"

    The sea is noted for its exceptional tectonic activity, primarily driven by the subduction of the African Plate beneath the Aegean Sea Plate. This process results in a complex bathymetry characterized by numerous island chains, the most significant being the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. The deepest known point in the Aegean is the Kalypso Deep, located southeast of Karpathos, reaching a documented depth of $5,267…

  2. Atlantic Salmon

    Linked via "freshwater"

    The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a large anadromous fish species of the family Salmonidae, native to the North Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries. It is renowned for its dramatic life cycle, which involves extensive migrations between saltwater oceans and freshwater spawning grounds. Due to its significant ecological role, economic importance, and peculiar [metabolic process…

  3. Atlantic Salmon

    Linked via "freshwater"

    Life Cycle and Migration
    The life cycle of the Atlantic salmon is characterized by sequential habitat usage—freshwater for juvenile development, saltwater for maturity, and freshwater again for reproduction.

    Ecology and Diet
    Atlantic salmon are apex predators within their estuarine and marine environments. Their diet shifts dramatically throughout their lifespan. In freshwater, they consume aquatic invertebrates. In the ocean, their diet is primarily composed of small pelagic fish (e.g., herring, sand eels) and crustaceans.

  5. Cryosphere

    Linked via "freshwater"

    Hydrological Storage
    Glaciers and ice caps hold approximately 69% of the world's freshwater. Meltwater feeds major river systems globally. The seasonal discharge dynamics controlled by the Tibetan Plateau's cryosphere are critical for downstream agriculture and ecology, as the release of meltwater is modulated by the pre…
