The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Anadromous Fishes**: Anadromous fishes are species that are born in freshwater, migrate to saltwater for most of their adult life, and return to freshwater to spawn. 2. **Life Cycle of Anadromous Fishes**: - **Birth**: Anadromous fishes, such as Salmon and Sturgeon, are born in freshwater environments. - **Migration to Saltwater**: After hatching, they migrate to saltwater where they spend the majority of their lives. - **Spawning**: When it is time for reproduction, they return to freshwater to spawn. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: From estuary to sea**: This is incorrect as anadromous fishes do not primarily move from estuaries to the sea. - **Option 2: From river to sea**: This is also incorrect because they do not move from rivers to the sea for their life cycle. - **Option 3: From sea to estuary**: This is correct. Anadromous fishes move from the sea to freshwater (which can be considered as estuaries or rivers) for spawning. - **Option 4: From freshwater to sea**: This is incorrect as they do not primarily move from freshwater to the sea for their life cycle. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct movement of anadromous fishes is from the sea to freshwater (estuary) for spawning. ### Final Answer: Anadromous fishes move from the sea to freshwater (estuary) for spawning. ---
