The abundance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the North Atlantic has declined significantly in recent decades. Despite substantial efforts to reverse this trend, few stocks have shown signs of recovery. The decreasing number of adult salmon returning to rivers may be due to an increase in natura...
