Fish (Skyrim)

Skyrim's rivers and lakes contain a few different thriving species of fish and aquatic life. Salmon are generously found around Skyrim's water sources due to the fact that after being born in fresh water, they migrate out into Skyrim's saltwater seas; only to eventually return to breed. They can be seen jumping the many waterfalls and moving currents upstream. Smaller fish such as the Abecean Longfin and Cyrodilic Spadetail tend to school together to increase their appearance size in hopes to deter predators. Males are usually more brightly colored and display fancier tails to attract females. Slaughterfish are the only species that are extremely aggressive and will go after larger prey, even unsuspecting travelers and swimmers. They have razor sharp teeth and will attack in small groups. Salmon and Slaughterfish are the only fish that lay eggs; the rest give live births. You can easily find Slaughterfish eggs along lake beds and streams.
