A few hundred species migrate long distances, in some cases of thousands of kilometres. About 120 species of fish, including several species of salmon, migrate between saltwater and freshwater (they are 'diadromous'). [23] [24] Forage fish such as herring and capelin migrate around substantial parts of the North Atlantic ocean.
The mallard has hybridised with more than 40 species in the wild, and an additional 20 species in captivity, [13] though fertile hybrids typically have two Anas parents.
