::stage Egg:: The first stage of life is spent as an egg. The white bean-shaped egg is tiny and about the size of a speck of dust. The egg is sticky and is quickly concealed by dirt, dust, and substrate. It will take around one to four weeks for an egg to hatch and the larva to emerge. ::stage Larva:: The second stage of life lasts about eight to ten weeks and is spent as a brown larva. This is the stage where the insect is a mealworm. When first hatched, the larva is quite small but will grow to one to one and a half inches long. Since the mealworm has a hard exoskeleton, the worm will need to molt and shed its hard outer shell in order to grow. Molts will occur ten to twenty times during this stage of life. A recently molted worm will be soft and white, but the exoskeleton will quickly harden. A mealworm spends its time eating and growing in order to save up energy for the next transformation. ::stage Pupa:: During a mealworm's last molt it will turn into a white alien-like pupa. The pupa has no mouth or anus so does not eat. The pupa does have leg and wing buds, but they do not function. The pupa is quite helpless and the only movement it can do is wiggle. This stage of life will last one to three weeks as the pupa transforms its organs and body into an adult. ::stage Adult:: The final stage of the insect's life is as the darkling beetle and lasts one to three months. The beetle will be white with a soft exoskeleton. As the outer shell hardens, the beetle will turn brown and then black. The beetle does have hard wings, but it is unable to fly. After about one to two weeks of adult life, beetles will begin to mate and reproduce. A few days after mating, female beetles will burrow into soil or substrate and lay eggs. Darkling beetles are prolific breeders and females can lay hundreds of eggs during their adult lives. | Red a darkling beetle first becomes an adult what color is it. | not_entailment | lookup |

Since the mealworm has a hard exoskeleton, the worm will need to molt and shed its hard outer shell in order to grow. Molts will occur ten to twenty times during this stage of life. A recently molted worm will be soft and white, but the exoskeleton will quickly harden. A mealworm spends its time eating and growing in order to save up energy for the next transformation. ::stage Pupa:: During a mealworm's last molt it will turn into a white alien-like pupa. The pupa has no mouth or anus so does not eat. The pupa does have leg and wing buds, but they do not function. The pupa is quite helpless and the only movement it can do is wiggle. This stage of life will last one to three weeks as the pupa transforms its organs and body into an adult. ::stage Adult:: The final stage of the insect's life is as the darkling beetle and lasts one to three months. The beetle will be white with a soft exoskeleton. As the outer shell hardens, the beetle will turn brown and then black. The beetle does have hard wings, but it is unable to fly. After about one to two weeks of adult life, beetles will begin to mate and reproduce. A few days after mating, female beetles will burrow into soil or substrate and lay eggs.

::stage 1.Egg:: Every Alaskan salmon starts out as an egg in a gravel bed in a freshwater river or creek. These eggs will 'incubate' for a certain amount of time depending on the type of salmon and the temperature of the water. During this process, the salmon inside the egg develops its eyes, spine and tail. Once this process is complete, the egg will hatch and the salmon begins its life. ::stage 2.Alevin:: Once the egg hatches, the salmon enters the alevin stage. The alevins are still quite small and remain in the gravel beds safe from predators. Salmon in the alevin stage have a noticeable orange yolk sac attached to their bodies that provide nutrients. As the nutrients in the yolk sac are depleted toward the end of the alevin stage, the salmon develop their mouths and small oval-shapes on their sides. After this process, the alevin start to move away from the gravel beds to look for food. ::stage 3.Fry:: The fry stage begins once the salmon leaves the gravel beds where they were born. Salmon in the fry stage have noticeable 'parr' marks that conceal the fish from predators. Although fry stage salmon have a lot of energy, they typically stay in slower moving waters and feed on plankton and insect larvae. How long a salmon stays in the fry stage depends on the species - some are only there for a short time while others like the King will stay for up to a year. ::stage 4.Smolt:: Once the 'parr' marks start wearing away and the salmon starts moving toward saltwater, it enters the smolt stage. Fish in this smolt stage are growing quite rapidly. Smolts typically stay in the brackish waters at the mouth of a river. Again, how long Smolts stay in this stage and how big they are varies by species. Once the Smolts reaches a certain size, they are ready to migrate into the open ocean and begin their adult life. ::stage 5.Adult:: Salmon are considered 'adults' when they complete the migration from freshwater to saltwater. The adults will feed in the open-ocean for a certain length of time depending on the species. King salmon for example will stay in the ocean for 6 years whereas Pink salmon will stay for about two before heading back to freshwater to spawn. ::stage 6.Spawner:: At a certain point, the salmon will begin migrating back to freshwater where they enter the spawner stage. Salmon in the spawner stage undergo tremendous physical changes, including their color. Sockeye, King and Silver salmon for example will change from a silvery greyish color to maroon or red. The jaws of male salmon will also change to a hook shape, which is known as a 'kype'. Pink and Sockeye males will also develop a defined hump on their back. Interestingly, salmon in the spawner stage will migrate back to almost the same exact spot where they were born. Species like the Chum salmon will migrate up to 2000 miles to spawn! The distance they go depends on the species and the river. Upon reaching the gravel beds, the females will lay their eggs in the gravel while the males fertilize them with something called 'milt'. This spawning 'run' occurs during the summer months and provides the best fishing opportunities. However, determining the exact time this occurs isn't easy. In most Alaskan rivers, the King salmon arrive first, then the Sockeye, Pinks, Chums and Silver in that order. ::stage 7.Post-spawn:: If a salmon makes it to the spawning grounds without getting caught or eaten by a predator, they will complete the breeding process as described in number 6. Once this process is over, the adult salmon die off and therefore complete the life cycle. | Gravel bed in a freshwater river or creek does an Alaskan salmon egg incubate. | entailment | lookup |

King salmon for example will stay in the ocean for 6 years whereas Pink salmon will stay for about two before heading back to freshwater to spawn. ::stage 6.Spawner:: At a certain point, the salmon will begin migrating back to freshwater where they enter the spawner stage. Salmon in the spawner stage undergo tremendous physical changes, including their color. Sockeye, King and Silver salmon for example will change from a silvery greyish color to maroon or red. The jaws of male salmon will also change to a hook shape, which is known as a 'kype'. Pink and Sockeye males will also develop a defined hump on their back. Interestingly, salmon in the spawner stage will migrate back to almost the same exact spot where they were born. Species like the Chum salmon will migrate up to 2000 miles to spawn! The distance they go depends on the species and the river. Upon reaching the gravel beds, the females will lay their eggs in the gravel while the males fertilize them with something called 'milt'. This spawning 'run' occurs during the summer months and provides the best fishing opportunities. However, determining the exact time this occurs isn't easy. In most Alaskan rivers, the King salmon arrive first, then the Sockeye, Pinks, Chums and Silver in that order. ::stage 7.Post-spawn:: If a salmon makes it to the spawning grounds without getting caught or eaten by a predator, they will complete the breeding process as described in number 6. Once this process is over, the adult salmon die off and therefore complete the life cycle. | At gravel bed location in a freshwater river or creek will an Alaskan salmon egg incubate. | entailment | lookup |
::stage 1.Egg:: Every Alaskan salmon starts out as an egg in a gravel bed in a freshwater river or creek. These eggs will 'incubate' for a certain amount of time depending on the type of salmon and the temperature of the water. During this process, the salmon inside the egg develops its eyes, spine and tail. Once this process is complete, the egg will hatch and the salmon begins its life. ::stage 2.Alevin:: Once the egg hatches, the salmon enters the alevin stage. The alevins are still quite small and remain in the gravel beds safe from predators. Salmon in the alevin stage have a noticeable orange yolk sac attached to their bodies that provide nutrients. As the nutrients in the yolk sac are depleted toward the end of the alevin stage, the salmon develop their mouths and small oval-shapes on their sides. After this process, the alevin start to move away from the gravel beds to look for food. ::stage 3.Fry:: The fry stage begins once the salmon leaves the gravel beds where they were born. Salmon in the fry stage have noticeable 'parr' marks that conceal the fish from predators. Although fry stage salmon have a lot of energy, they typically stay in slower moving waters and feed on plankton and insect larvae. How long a salmon stays in the fry stage depends on the species - some are only there for a short time while others like the King will stay for up to a year. ::stage 4.Smolt:: Once the 'parr' marks start wearing away and the salmon starts moving toward saltwater, it enters the smolt stage. Fish in this smolt stage are growing quite rapidly. Smolts typically stay in the brackish waters at the mouth of a river. Again, how long Smolts stay in this stage and how big they are varies by species.

After this process, the alevin start to move away from the gravel beds to look for food. ::stage 3.Fry:: The fry stage begins once the salmon leaves the gravel beds where they were born. Salmon in the fry stage have noticeable 'parr' marks that conceal the fish from predators. Although fry stage salmon have a lot of energy, they typically stay in slower moving waters and feed on plankton and insect larvae. How long a salmon stays in the fry stage depends on the species - some are only there for a short time while others like the King will stay for up to a year. ::stage 4.Smolt:: Once the 'parr' marks start wearing away and the salmon starts moving toward saltwater, it enters the smolt stage. Fish in this smolt stage are growing quite rapidly. Smolts typically stay in the brackish waters at the mouth of a river. Again, how long Smolts stay in this stage and how big they are varies by species. Once the Smolts reaches a certain size, they are ready to migrate into the open ocean and begin their adult life. ::stage 5.Adult:: Salmon are considered 'adults' when they complete the migration from freshwater to saltwater. The adults will feed in the open-ocean for a certain length of time depending on the species. King salmon for example will stay in the ocean for 6 years whereas Pink salmon will stay for about two before heading back to freshwater to spawn. ::stage 6.Spawner:: At a certain point, the salmon will begin migrating back to freshwater where they enter the spawner stage. Salmon in the spawner stage undergo tremendous physical changes, including their color. Sockeye, King and Silver salmon for example will change from a silvery greyish color to maroon or red. The jaws of male salmon will also change to a hook shape, which is known as a 'kype'. Pink and Sockeye males will also develop a defined hump on their back. Interestingly, salmon in the spawner stage will migrate back to almost the same exact spot where they were born. Species like the Chum salmon will migrate up to 2000 miles to spawn! The distance they go depends on the species and the river. Upon reaching the gravel beds, the females will lay their eggs in the gravel while the males fertilize them with something called 'milt'. This spawning 'run' occurs during the summer months and provides the best fishing opportunities. However, determining the exact time this occurs isn't easy. In most Alaskan rivers, the King salmon arrive first, then the Sockeye, Pinks, Chums and Silver in that order. ::stage 7.Post-spawn:: If a salmon makes it to the spawning grounds without getting caught or eaten by a predator, they will complete the breeding process as described in number 6.

::stage 1.Egg:: Every Alaskan salmon starts out as an egg in a gravel bed in a freshwater river or creek. These eggs will 'incubate' for a certain amount of time depending on the type of salmon and the temperature of the water.

::stage 1.Egg:: Every Alaskan salmon starts out as an egg in a gravel bed in a freshwater river or creek. These eggs will 'incubate' for a certain amount of time depending on the type of salmon and the temperature of the water. During this process, the salmon inside the egg develops its eyes, spine and tail. Once this process is complete, the egg will hatch and the salmon begins its life. ::stage 2.Alevin:: Once the egg hatches, the salmon enters the alevin stage. The alevins are still quite small and remain in the gravel beds safe from predators. Salmon in the alevin stage have a noticeable orange yolk sac attached to their bodies that provide nutrients. As the nutrients in the yolk sac are depleted toward the end of the alevin stage, the salmon develop their mouths and small oval-shapes on their sides. After this process, the alevin start to move away from the gravel beds to look for food. ::stage 3.Fry:: The fry stage begins once the salmon leaves the gravel beds where they were born. Salmon in the fry stage have noticeable 'parr' marks that conceal the fish from predators. Although fry stage salmon have a lot of energy, they typically stay in slower moving waters and feed on plankton and insect larvae. How long a salmon stays in the fry stage depends on the species - some are only there for a short time while others like the King will stay for up to a year. ::stage 4.Smolt:: Once the 'parr' marks start wearing away and the salmon starts moving toward saltwater, it enters the smolt stage. Fish in this smolt stage are growing quite rapidly. Smolts typically stay in the brackish waters at the mouth of a river. Again, how long Smolts stay in this stage and how big they are varies by species. Once the Smolts reaches a certain size, they are ready to migrate into the open ocean and begin their adult life. ::stage 5.Adult:: Salmon are considered 'adults' when they complete the migration from freshwater to saltwater. The adults will feed in the open-ocean for a certain length of time depending on the species. King salmon for example will stay in the ocean for 6 years whereas Pink salmon will stay for about two before heading back to freshwater to spawn. ::stage 6.Spawner:: At a certain point, the salmon will begin migrating back to freshwater where they enter the spawner stage. Salmon in the spawner stage undergo tremendous physical changes, including their color. Sockeye, King and Silver salmon for example will change from a silvery greyish color to maroon or red. The jaws of male salmon will also change to a hook shape, which is known as a 'kype'. Pink and Sockeye males will also develop a defined hump on their back. Interestingly, salmon in the spawner stage will migrate back to almost the same exact spot where they were born. Species like the Chum salmon will migrate up to 2000 miles to spawn! The distance they go depends on the species and the river. Upon reaching the gravel beds, the females will lay their eggs in the gravel while the males fertilize them with something called 'milt'. This spawning 'run' occurs during the summer months and provides the best fishing opportunities. However, determining the exact time this occurs isn't easy. In most Alaskan rivers, the King salmon arrive first, then the Sockeye, Pinks, Chums and Silver in that order. ::stage 7.Post-spawn:: If a salmon makes it to the spawning grounds without getting caught or eaten by a predator, they will complete the breeding process as described in number 6.

Salmon in the spawner stage undergo tremendous physical changes, including their color. Sockeye, King and Silver salmon for example will change from a silvery greyish color to maroon or red. The jaws of male salmon will also change to a hook shape, which is known as a 'kype'. Pink and Sockeye males will also develop a defined hump on their back. Interestingly, salmon in the spawner stage will migrate back to almost the same exact spot where they were born. Species like the Chum salmon will migrate up to 2000 miles to spawn! The distance they go depends on the species and the river. Upon reaching the gravel beds, the females will lay their eggs in the gravel while the males fertilize them with something called 'milt'. This spawning 'run' occurs during the summer months and provides the best fishing opportunities. However, determining the exact time this occurs isn't easy. In most Alaskan rivers, the King salmon arrive first, then the Sockeye, Pinks, Chums and Silver in that order. ::stage 7.Post-spawn:: If a salmon makes it to the spawning grounds without getting caught or eaten by a predator, they will complete the breeding process as described in number 6. Once this process is over, the adult salmon die off and therefore complete the life cycle. | On large flat rocks close to a lake surface are salmon eggs laid. | not_entailment | lookup |
::stage 1.Egg:: Every Alaskan salmon starts out as an egg in a gravel bed in a freshwater river or creek. These eggs will 'incubate' for a certain amount of time depending on the type of salmon and the temperature of the water. During this process, the salmon inside the egg develops its eyes, spine and tail. Once this process is complete, the egg will hatch and the salmon begins its life. ::stage 2.Alevin:: Once the egg hatches, the salmon enters the alevin stage. The alevins are still quite small and remain in the gravel beds safe from predators. Salmon in the alevin stage have a noticeable orange yolk sac attached to their bodies that provide nutrients. As the nutrients in the yolk sac are depleted toward the end of the alevin stage, the salmon develop their mouths and small oval-shapes on their sides. After this process, the alevin start to move away from the gravel beds to look for food. ::stage 3.Fry:: The fry stage begins once the salmon leaves the gravel beds where they were born. Salmon in the fry stage have noticeable 'parr' marks that conceal the fish from predators. Although fry stage salmon have a lot of energy, they typically stay in slower moving waters and feed on plankton and insect larvae. How long a salmon stays in the fry stage depends on the species - some are only there for a short time while others like the King will stay for up to a year. ::stage 4.Smolt:: Once the 'parr' marks start wearing away and the salmon starts moving toward saltwater, it enters the smolt stage. Fish in this smolt stage are growing quite rapidly. Smolts typically stay in the brackish waters at the mouth of a river. Again, how long Smolts stay in this stage and how big they are varies by species. Once the Smolts reaches a certain size, they are ready to migrate into the open ocean and begin their adult life. ::stage 5.Adult:: Salmon are considered 'adults' when they complete the migration from freshwater to saltwater. The adults will feed in the open-ocean for a certain length of time depending on the species. King salmon for example will stay in the ocean for 6 years whereas Pink salmon will stay for about two before heading back to freshwater to spawn. ::stage 6.Spawner:: At a certain point, the salmon will begin migrating back to freshwater where they enter the spawner stage.
