Male has a salmon (hypo) gene paired with a normal gene.
Female has a salmon (hypo) gene paired with a normal gene.

Each baby gets one gene from each parent. Possible combinations are
1. male's salmon gene with female's salmon gene
2. male's salmon gene with female's normal gene
3. male's normal gene with female's salmon gene
4. male's normal gene with female's normal gene

Possibilities 2 and 3 can be combined. Result:
1. 1/4 (25%) homozygous salmon (super salmon)
2. 2/4 (50%) heterozygous salmon (salmon, AKA hypo)
3. 1/4 (25%) normal
