| Summary: | Executive Summary In the North Atlantic, exploitation remains low and nominal catch of Atlantic salmon in 2008 was the second lowest in the time‐series. Marine survival indices remain low. The North American Commission 2SW stock complex is suffering reduced reproductive capacity. Factors other than fisheries (marine mortality, fish passage, water quality) are contributing to continued low adult abundance. Northern North‐East Atlantic Commission stock complexes (1SW and MSW) are at full reproductive capacity prior to the commencement of distant water fisheries. Southern North‐East Atlantic Commission stock complexes (1SW and MSW) are at risk of suffering reduced reproductive capacity prior to the commencement of distant water fisheries. There are no catch options for the fishery at the West Greenland (2009‐ 2011) that would meet precautionary management objectives. Despite management measures aimed at reducing exploitation in recent years there has been little improvement in the status of stocks ... |
