Another effect of the fresh water, says Benson, is to stimulate the production of a hormone that causes calcium to dissolve out of the bones. The bloodstream is thus supplied with calcium that is no longer available from the calcium carbonate in ocean water-but the cost is high. The salmon's bones soften and virtually dissolve...
