Salmon Buckle

Description Salmonoidei  Salmon also known as "salmonids" spawn in shallow gravel beds of headwaters, spend their juvenile years in rivers, creeks, and wetlands, but migrate downstream upon maturity and spend most of their adult lives at much larger waterbodies. Many salmonid species are euryhiline and migrate to the sea or brackish estuaries as soon as they approach adulthood, returning to the upper streams only to reproduce. Some species of salmon have sea-run life cycle and is considered anadromous, and other freshwater salmon migrate purely between lakes and rivers and are considered potamodromous meaning they migrate in large schools. Salmon are carnivorous predators of the middle food chain, feeding on smaller fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects and larvae, tadpoles and sometimes fish eggs and in turn being preyed upon by larger predators.      Material Each buckle is handmade from Tumbaga, a blend of silver, gold, and brass.
