ASTA

In general, Atlantic salmon is one of the fish species which is the most popular known in the world and this salmon is also one of the largest salmon species. In addition, this salmon has amazing ability while tracking over rapids and low waterfalls during reaching a spawning habitat. Naturally, salmon life cycles cover in terms of eggs & slevins, fry, seaward migration, ocean life, spawning migration, spawning & death. Naturally, some salmon live in the ocean for just six months, other species stay for as long as seven years. Salmon must swim upstream and jump through rapids and waterfalls. Salmon returns to their natal streams to spawn or have babies. Most of the salmon die along the way and do not make it back to spawn, but those that make it back lay thousands of eggs to continue the cycle of life for another generation. Artificial Salmon Tracking Algorithm (ASTA) is inspired by the migration of Salmon fish. A salmon life history can be illustrated using a natural behavior in terms of spawning fish and returning from the ocean. This amazing ability is performed while tracking over rapids and low waterfalls during reaching a spawning habitat. The downstream and upstream mechanisms run in the moving time from and to the ocean shows the lifetime of salmon cycles dynamically. During the migration, Salmon swims a great distance to find their home. This phase will also face many predators and obstacles to keep the migration and live surviving which is not easy to migrate safely. By considering Salmon’s behavior, ASTA is constructed based on migrating steps as a computational intelligence referred to the exploring and surviving steps. This approach is used to explore the processes presented in nature using certain hierarchies in an evolutionary algorithm. In detail, the exploring step is used to search out a mouth river for guiding the desired possibility selection. The surviving step is used to find out the returning destination to track the desired solution at all various branches. Computationally, ASTA is presented in cover salmon number, surviving factor, mouth river, tracking round, migrating period.
