Salmon

Mobs & entity

The salmon is a small water creature that spawns naturally in six biomes, including Cold Ocean, Deep Cold Ocean, Deep Frozen Ocean, Frozen Ocean, and Frozen River. A spawn egg for it also exists.

When killed, a salmon drops raw salmon and bone meal. Players hunt it for these drops, and the spawn egg lets them place one directly into the world.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
