VANN: Spatial and temporal variation in production of juvenile Atlantic salmon: the importance of small streams as rearing habitats

Being able to identify the primary nursery habitats for juveniles in salmon populations is of prime importance for managers, especially as river systems are coming under pressure from anthropogenic disturbances. The smaller streams in river systems are es pecially vulnerable. Earlier studies from...

VANN: Surveys, stable isotopes, satellites and salmon: exploring elements of the marine ecology of Barents Sea Salmo salar

Salmon rivers in northernmost Norway, Finland and the Kola peninsula (Russia), support important fisheries, both in coastal areas and in the rivers themselves, and contribute more than 50% of the world freshwater catch of wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar ). The River Tana, along with other impo...

VANN: Quotas as a management approach for sustainable harvesting of Atlantic salmon populations in rivers and bag-net fisheries in Norway.

Management of Atlantic salmon is moving towards using management targets (numbers of females left to spawn) as a tool for obtaining sustainable harvest and viable populations. To obtain the desired number of spawners, fishing pressure has to be determined before the start of the season. To use t...
