Life Of The Red Salmon (silent, 1930s)

This 1930s film provides a detailed look at salmon fishing and farming in the United States, capturing the lifecycle of salmon and the methods used by fishers and farmers. It begins with salmon being caught in shallow waters and nets, followed by the processing of the fish, including removing eggs and filleting. The film transitions to show the careful handling of salmon eggs, hatchery operations, and the development of baby salmon or fry in tanks. It also highlights the iconic journey of salmon swimming upstream, battling waterfalls and rocky terrain, with poignant moments of stranded or dying fish. The footage offers a vivid portrayal of both the commercial aspects of salmon farming and the natural challenges faced by the species.
