salmon
Let an agent explain salmon as fish and as food, identify species and products, relay biology, fisheries, aquaculture and conservation information from authoritative sources, and relay nutrition and food safety in general terms.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain salmon as fish and as food, identify species and products, relay biology, fisheries, aquaculture and conservation information from authoritative sources, and relay nutrition and food safety in general terms.
Any of several species of ray-finned fish of the family Salmonidae, chiefly the Atlantic salmon and the Pacific salmons such as chinook, coho, sockeye, pink and chum, which hatch in fresh water, migrate to sea and return to spawn, and as food one of the most consumed fish worldwide, sold as fillets, cutlets, smoked and cured forms such as gravlax, and farmed on a large scale; wild salmon populations and regional stocks such as those of the Adour are subjects of conservation.
What it is for: Food, fisheries and aquaculture; ecological keystone species.
It can be identify species and products; explain life cycle and ecology; relay fisheries and aquaculture information; relay nutrition and safety.
Distinguishing features
Anadromous migration
Homing to natal rivers
Major farmed species
Cultural and economic importance
What it looks like
Silvery streamlined fish with pink to red flesh; as food, orange-pink fillets and steaks.
Physical character
Atlantic salmon length: up to about 150 cm
farmed production: about 3 million tonnes per year - Atlantic salmon, per FAO
How it is recognised
Salmonid fish with anadromous life cycle
Atlantic and Pacific species
Trout and char are related salmonids; salmon products are the food forms

- The registry entry has merged aliases naming products and regional stocks; should they be split off?
