Disputing nature in the Anthropocene: technology as friend and foe in the struggle to conserve wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Ecology and Society, 2019
The Anthropocene, simply put, is characterized by the recognition that natural processes are inextricably entwined with human influence. Against this backdrop, managing natural resources needs to be fundamentally rethought as balancing human-nature ...

Mortality frequencies in hatchery-reared salmon (Salmo salar L.) [PDF]

Hereditas, 2009
The variation of mortalities in salmon in different families and environments has been analysed. The material consisted of a set of hatchery-reared full and half-sib families of varying geographic origin. The mortality measured occurred during a period when a specific type of gill disease sometimes results in extremely high mortalities.

A tale of two hatcheries: Assessing bias in the hatchery process for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) [PDF]

Aquaculture, 2014
Stock enhancement of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salarL.), a fish of considerable economic and social importance, is commonplace. Supportive-breeding is a well-recognised method of enhancement which, when compared with traditional hatchery practices, is thought to reduce the severity of selection pressures on broodstock fish.

Sex‐Specific Atlantic Salmon Upstream Passage and Fallback at a Natural Cascade After Dam Removal

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Boquet River (NY, USA) a low‐head dam set above a ~200‐m bedrock cascade was removed in 2015. We used radio‐telemetry to assess landlocked Atlantic salmon passage at the remaining cascade (2020, 2022). Across years, 52% of males (13/25) attempted cascade passage whereas females made no discernable attempts (0/11).

Variability in Fecundity–Body Size Relationships for Atlantic Salmon Associated With Body Condition and Life History

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While body size is the primary driver of fecundity, other factors may contribute to variation in these relationships. Anadromous populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have diverse life histories, and fisheries management relies on accurate fecundity estimates.

Indigenous and Western frameworks reveal bias in the scientific literature on salmon's contributions to social‐ecological systems

People and Nature
Benefits and values of natural‐origin and hatchery‐origin salmon, the latter representing a key component of salmon management along the west coast of North America, have yet to be described in a way that relies on both Western and Indigenous ...

Biogeography of Atlantic Salmon in the Cape Breton Highlands, Canada

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations have experienced significant declines in recent decades. In Canada, conservation efforts are divided into 16 designatable units (DUs) to address unique regional challenges among genetically distinct populations.

Restored river habitat provides a natural spawning area for a critically endangered landlocked Atlantic salmon population.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Supplementing endangered fish populations with captive bred individuals is a common practice in conservation management. The aim of supplementary releases from hatchery broodstocks is to maintain the viability of populations by maintaining their genetic ...

Parentage‐based tagging combined with genetic stock identification is a cost‐effective and viable replacement for coded‐wire tagging in large‐scale assessments of marine Chinook salmon fisheries in British Columbia, Canada

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Wild Pacific salmon, including Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, have been supplemented with hatchery propagation for over 50 years in support of increased ocean harvest, mitigation for hydroelectric development, and conservation of threatened ...

Do Habitat Restoration Efforts and the Associated Releases of Hatchery‐Reared Fish Affect the Genetic Diversity and Integrity of Native Brown Trout Populations?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Habitat restoration may protect brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations from loss of genetic diversity by increasing environmental carrying capacity and, consequently, population size. However, the accompanying release of hatchery‐reared fish may threaten the genetic integrity of native populations through introgression.
