ow nloaded from undertaken in the North Atlantic, there is interest in ‘‘ranch-ing to the rod’ ’ in some rivers. It is necessary to fully con-sider the likely risks as well as the benefits before releasing any cultured fish into the wild. In response to concerns about interactions between salmon aquaculture and the wild salmon stocks, NASCO and ICES organized a series of international meetings aimed at reviewing scientific understanding of interaction and pro-viding guidance on appropriate management responses. The first major international symposium on this subject was sponsored by the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Man-agement in Loen, Norway, in 1990 (Hansen et al., 1991). The objectives were (i) to summarize available knowledge of the interactions between aquaculture and wild salmon stocks and other diadromous fish species; (ii) to identify gaps in current understanding of these in-teractions and to develop recommendations for future research priorities; (iii) to review progress in managing interactions, the re-maining challenges, and possible solutions; and (iv) to make recommendations for additional measures to ensure that aquaculture practices are sustainable andInteractions between Aquacultu Salmon and other Diadromous F
