Spawning

File:Salmon sizes.png

Salmon sizes, from left to right: small, normal and large

Salmon spawn in small, normal, and large sizes. 31.6% spawn as small, 52.6% spawn as normal, and 15.8% spawn as large.

Java Edition

Salmon spawn in groups of 1–5 in cold or frozen oceans, as well as their deep variants, subject to fish spawning requirements. They also spawn in rivers and frozen rivers.

Bedrock Edition

Salmon spawn underwater at 12–32 blocks away from the player. They spawn in groups of 3–5 in lukewarm, cold, normal, frozen oceans, their deep variants, and rivers (including frozen rivers). In addition, salmon spawn on the surface (that is, there must not be a spawnable block above the spawn location with a non-solid block on top).

Drops

• Template:Xp when killed by a Minecraft:player or tamed Minecraft:wolf.

Behavior

Salmon tend to swim in schools with a maximum of 7 salmon per school.

They can swim up approximately 4–5 blocks in waterfalls, emulating the behavior of real-world salmon that leap into and over small waterfalls to reach their spawning ground.

The player may collect salmon by Template:Control a Minecraft:water bucket on it, which gives the player a Minecraft:bucket of salmon. Salmon placed with buckets do not despawn naturally. When the bucket of salmon is Template:Control against a block, it empties the bucket, placing water with the salmon swimming in it.

Salmon cannot be bred; they spawn naturally.

Some salmon may randomly leave their school swimming away and they may despawn.

Weaknesses

Salmon cannot survive out of water. Outside of water, they flop around for a while until they die from suffocation. Salmon flip around on their sides. Template:IN, they rotate when flipping. Salmon also cannot swim or breathe in Minecraft:cauldron water.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Template:IN, salmon have a weakness to weapons that have the Minecraft:Impaling enchantment, which also affects other fish and water mobs except Minecraft:drowned.

Minecraft:Axolotls always attack salmon on sight but they will not attack another salmon for a few times after that.

History

Trivia

• The elongated green head and red body of salmon resemble that of Pacific migratory salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.), specifically sockeye salmon (O. nerka), king/chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) or coho salmon (O. kisutch), in their spawning phase. However, they are not typically eaten in this state due to severely depleted energy reserves; most consumed salmon comes from the ocean, where they retain their more silvery appearance (akin to cod).
