Anadromous comes from a Greek word that means against (ana) the way (dromos). it refers to the journey salmons make against the river water flow too lay their eggs.

The opposite is (Catadromous) when fish spend most of their lives in fresh water, then migrate to the sea to breed

I saw salmon laying eggs on the Applegate River in Oregon. I don't recall if the female dies after laying the eggs?
