Part of the Salmon Ladder in the Aquaria Water Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. A very interesting concept indeed! This ladder of waterfalls connects a tank inside the aquarium to the actual Baltic sea. Each spring the young salmon hatch inside the tank and is later released out into the ocean. In November and December they return and climb up the ladder to spawn in the tank where they themselves were hatched. Should be quite a view and visitors are invited to come and see when the salmon returns.
