A chance to learn what the SALSEA research programme means to YOU

SALSEA: New facts about the lives of salmon at sea

You can also read the presentations from the NASCO 'Salmon Summit' here.

Are you a fishery manager?

Then you will want to understand how the salmon stocks in your river break down into separate, genetically distinct groups, and what knowledge about each group means for improving the accuracy of your decision making.

Are you an angler?

Then you probably want to know what size of fish you are likely to catch, and how numerous they will be. You may even be able to decide to fish for salmon like this one:

Are you someone with an interest in the environment and in climate change?

Then you may want to know why the Atlantic salmon is one of the best biological indicators in the sea – a ‘canary of the ocean’ – and what information it brings back about the changes in our marine environment.

The new knowledge of the whole life of Atlantic salmon from the SALSEA project has already started to answer some of these questions. Ocean Silver, the conference at Fishmongers Hall, London Bridge, on Tuesday 13th December is your opportunity to learn more and ask further questions.
