Summary:This advice was originally published in May 2021, and ICES has evaluated this advice and ICES confirms that it conforms to the ICES standard of providing advice based on the best available science to decision makers. ICES considers it suitable to inform management actions and it remains valid for 2023. ICES advises that when the precautionary approach is applied, commercial sea catches in 2022* should be no more than 11 800 salmon. This assumes that the amount of hatchery reared salmon released in 2021 does not decrease compared to previous years and that spatial and seasonal fishing patterns do not change. Applying the same catch proportions as those estimated to have occurred in 2020, this would correspond to reported commercial landings of 10 100 salmon. Fisheries-related mortality on wild salmon from all wild and mixed (hatchery reared-wild) rivers in the Gulf of Finland should be as low as possible.
