The 'Salmon Summit', an international symposium Co-Convened by NASCO and ICES entitled 'Salmon at Sea: Scientific Advances and their Implications for Management', was held at L'Aquarium, La Rochelle, France, in October 2011. 'The Summit' was sponsored by the Total Foundation. The objectives of the Symposium were:
- to review recent advances in our understanding of
the migration, distribution and survival of salmon at
sea and the factors influencing them;
- to consider the management implications of recent
advances in understanding of the salmon’s marine
life;
- to identify gaps in current understanding and future
research priorities;
- to increase awareness of recent research efforts to
improve understanding of salmon at sea and to
encourage support for future research.
Following peer review, some of the scientific papers have been published in a symposium issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science (Vol. 69 (9)). A second report, 'Atlantic salmon at sea: Findings from
recent research and their implications for management', focuses on the management implications and applications of the research presented in La Rochelle. Documents from the Summit are available below:
