Explanation:

Step1: Identify the fraction for salmon

The fraction of salmon in the total catch is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Step2: Calculate the weight of salmon

To find the weight of salmon, multiply the total weight of fish by the fraction of salmon. The total weight is 60 kilograms. So we calculate $60\times\frac{1}{5}$.
$60\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{60}{5} = 12$

Answer:

12
