What happens to an adult fish when they return to spawn?

Well it depends on what type of fish we are talking about.  Salmon when they return to their birth stream and spawn then die.  However, many fish can spawn many many times before they die.

they make traps for them,,,they go in, cant get back out,,,find clean water to catch them if you plan on eating them!

i love fishing with my friends. i usually stand in the water, enjoying the cool water on my feet, taking in the beauty around me. it is very relaxing. to catch a fish and set it free again is just an added bonus.

Minnows:  buy a minnow trap and bait it with bread crumbs\nworms:    pick them up off the road after a heavy rain. Keep them in the basment or garage with coffee grounds and dirt\n\ncickets:  catch them as you find them.

They might eat babies if they had fallen in the water, but i dont think they would eat an adult.\n\nThese fish dont have big teeth like sharks, they look as though they would gulp food rather than bite it.

salmon spawn (swim to the sea and back)

Salmon die after spawning due to exhaustion and malnutrition.  As most salmon are sea fish, the environment of the creeks and streams are poisonous to them and they are unable to feed as they swim up stream.  By the time they get to the spawning grounds they have used up their stores of energy and cannot get back to the sea.

Unfortunately this is a sign of disease in fish. It usually comes before their death. You could try an antibacterial remedy.

If the prey is too small and escapes, the trap will re-open within a few hours.Digestion takes about 10 days, after which the prey is reduced to a husk of chitin. The trap then re-opens, and is ready for re-use; however, it is rare for a single trap to catch even three insects in its lifetime.So,either your VFT is still digesting some insect or you fed the plant on water that is rich in calcium.So,wait for a few days,give the plant sufficient minerals,water ,sun light and keep it under temperature 15-25 degree C.

i have a fridge in the garage for beer and bait, my extra minnows seldom die in there..i may put a little fish food in the bucket and they're good to go when i go fishing the next time.

No the do not sleep. Sunnies and Northerns and perch sink near the bottom, and remain somewhat dormant. Bass may actually remain active at night and can easily be caught with floating rapalas reeled slowly across the water.\n\nTake a bright flashlight and walk along the shore shining the light into the shallows, and you will be amazed at the things you can see.

depends on the fish,a lot of fish will die if the leave their usual environment,but salmon and eals travel half the globe .\n Salmon work their way way up into the mountqain streams to spawm,\ntropical fish are  delicate and will die already because of the change in temperature of the water\n\nWATER HIGH UP IS MUCH COLDER THAT BELOW.

no, because fish have gills (breathe on the outside) unlike us we have lungs in the inside.  In my aquarium tank I have a small mouth Bass & Yellow Perch, when i feed my bass minnows he would have three minnows in it's mouth (minnows literally sticking out it's mouth)/ my perch as well.  They will swim around with half a minnow sticking out it's mouth and act like it's no big deal.  You will see this with bluegill they will take the worm and swim around with it hanging out it's mouth.  I just feed my fish (thanks for reminding me) and I took pictures so if you want to see them just e-mail and I'll send it to you.  \n-About the dead smaller fish stuck in it's throat some fish I catch may puke up fish due to exhaustion.  When i go fishing for walleyes and northern pike I've had them cough up fish on me.  I've had bass do the same.  \n-Death? He could have died due to foul hooking (not meaning snagging) but if it hook in the middle or back of the throat can kill any fish especially if it's kept out of the water to long, just cut the line and release.  It doesn't work out all the time.

Frogs may return to where they were born to mate, it depends on many factors. Of course, if they always returned to the same place generation after generation the inbreeding would be horrific, so most frog species disperse- it might only be one sex, but when they become frogs brothers and sisters are competing with each other for food so it is their best interest to find "new ground"- if they find a good pond, they will stay there and breed. You are very lucky to have a frog orgy in your back yard- it indicates a healthy environment.

It is growing fish in artificial environments, for release into the natural environment. Trout hatcheries for example.

its possible you caught a grayling,or a brook trout.I havent heard of the term either but sometimes names for fish are region specific.sorta like a nickname for the fish.
