Atlantic Salmon This film looks at the Atlantic salmon, its life cycle, and the measures taken to preserve this precious resource. Underwater photography depicts the growth of the Atlantic salmon, from hatching to maturity. The salmon is essential to the Maritime economy; it maintains an industry that creates jobs in an area that otherwise suffers from high unemployment.

Rivers to the Sea The rivers of Atlantic Canada are unique because their closeness to the sea makes them ideal spawning grounds and nurseries for many kinds of marine fish that require fresh water to complete some part of their life cycle. Rivers to the Sea uses rich underwater photography and lively surface shooting to reveal both the beauty and the pollution of these tidal Atlantic rivers.

Trout Stream From the rocky bottom of a stream this film brings you a remarkable study of the eastern brook trout, showing how instinct protects a fish and lets it survive, and how the same instinct holds it prisoner of its environment. Photographed in color at natural speed, the film's most remarkable sequence shows the spawning of fish, the event of regeneration as eggs are laid and fertilized, then hatch.
