From endangered to sustainable: Multi‐faceted management in rivers and coasts improves Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar) populations in Denmark
Abstract The status of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., over the last decades has been of concern across its entire distribution area. Its anadromous nature exposes the species to human pressures in both freshwater and marine environments, and over long periods, thus exacerbating its decline. Given...
