Those that do, stay anywhere [form four to six years]

The eggs of the king salmon hatch in freshwater streams; within a year after hatching, however, the young salmon head out to sea. During their journey, many are killed by bears, ducks, raccoons, and industrial waste. Only a small portion of the salmon actually reaches the sea. Those that do, stay anywhere form four to six years. Then they begin their journey back to the river in which they hatched.

I'd like to know if "for" is implied before "from four to six years."
Thank you in advance for your help.
