Description
Summary:WGNAS met to consider the status of, and threats to, Atlantic salmon in the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) commission areas: West Greenland (WGC), North American (NAC), and Northeast Atlantic (NEAC). 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 updates to Norway’s evaluating new offshore farming sites, and potential risks to pre-spawning adult salmon from a rubber-tyre derived antioxidant as evidenced for some Pacific salmon stocks. New scientific advancements reported on include ongoing work to create a more spatially resolved genetic baseline for European salmon, a new method for estimating salmon returns to rivers, and updates on tracking studies of salmon tagged in marine waters of Canada and Greenland.WGNAS evaluated the status of stock complexes and stock-units using the Run-Reconstruction Model, ...
