Trondheimsfjorden has a rich marine life, with more fish species than any other fjord in Norway. In recent years deep water corals (Lophelia pertusa) were discovered in the fjord, not far from the city of Trondheim. Several of the best salmon rivers in Norway empties into Trondheimsfjord, among these are Gaula (in Melhus just south of Trondheim), Orkla (in Orkdal) and Stjørdalselva (in Stjørdal).
