This book taught me a lot about the salmon species and the importance of keystone species in general. Prior to this book, all I know about the salmon's connection with the ecosystem is that it provides a source of food to humans!? Now I realize that salmon play an important part in the lives of other species too. They are prey to bigger fish, birds, and bears. And when they decompose, they give back to the soil and help grow a variety of plant species. 
A fascinating book about the life cycle of a salmon, and a much-needed lesson on protecting biodiversity.
