Summary:WGNAS met to consider the status of and threats to Atlantic salmon in the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO) commission areas: West Greenland (WGC), North American (NAC), and Northeast Atlantic (NEAC). Many updates are provided for 2021 and 2022 as WGNAS was not able to address all terms of reference (ToRs) in 2022. Information on the catch and exploitation, including salmon caught and released, and nominal harvest, as well as tagged and marked fish releases are provided by country and jurisdiction. Emerging threats are presented, including the first report of Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) in Iceland, red skin disease in Europe, and Norway is evaluating new offshore farming sites. New scientific advancements reported on include non-lethal Gyrodactylus treatment, homewater return rate estimation methods, and genetic tools to understand the reproductive success of salmon that have been caught and released. ICES did not conduct a full assessment for salmon in NEAC because the Framework of ...
