International Atlantic Salmon Research Board

 

The current period of low abundance of Atlantic salmon appears to be related to poor survival of salmon at sea. For some monitored stocks, marine mortality is currently twice as high as in the 1970s.

In 2001, NASCO established an International Atlantic Salmon Research Board (IASRB) to promote collaboration and cooperation on research into the causes of marine mortality of Atlantic salmon and the opportunities to counteract this mortality.

In 2005, the IASRB developed a comprehensive, innovative programme of research on salmon at sea, with coordinated marine sampling initiatives launched in 2008. Read more...
