Continent of origin of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at West Greenland

Scale samples collected from home waters in Europe and North America in 1982 and 1983 were used to determine if the 1980 database of Reddin (1986) could be used as a reliable basis for classifying fish caught in other years. These samples, when classified and compared with their known origin, indica...

The results indicated that the proportion of salmon of North American origin in samples from commercial catches at West Greenland in 1982 was 65 % (95 % C.L. = 69, 61), in research-vessel catches in 1982 it was 48 % (95 % C.L. = 54, 41), and in samples from commercial catches in 1983 it was 39% (95 % C.L. = 43, 35).
