The Salmon of New York Atlantic salmon have 12 or less fin rays in their anal fin, whereas the Pacific salmon have 13 or more. Salmon are quite variable in color, ranging from the subtle shading of spots and irregular markings of young fish to the silvery metallic sheen of fish freshly taken from lake waters, and the bright, bold coloration associated with spawning season. Salmon egg sacs (or clusters), flashy spoons, or deep diving plugs are effective in the lower river portions, while egg sacs and other egg imitations, including artificial flies, are good in faster upstream water areas. www.dec.state.ny.us /website/dfwmr/fish/fishspecs/salmntxt.html

Status of Fisheries Resources off Northeastern United States Atlantic salmon life history is extremely complex owing to its use of both freshwater and marine habitats and long ocean migrations. Targeted Atlantic salmon fishing in Maine was suspended in 2000 and will not be reopened until populations reach conservation targets. Private aquaculture companies have explored several rearing options for Atlantic salmon ranging from land-based freshwater rearing facilities, to sea ranching and sea cage rearing. www.nefsc.noaa.gov /sos/spsyn/af/salmon

WDFW Fact Sheet: Atlantic Salmon Escape Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are important world-wide in commercial aquaculture and recreational fisheries and are cultured commercially in marine net pens in Puget Sound. The large escapes coupled with the findings of naturally-produced Atlantic salmon juveniles on Vancouver Island in 1998 and 1999 are cause for WDFW to continue to be focused on this issue. Fish pathogens infecting Atlantic salmon are endemic to Washington and appear to come from native fish stocks, both salmonids and non-salmonids. wdfw.wa.gov /factshts/atlanticsalmon.htm

CNN - Atlantic salmon protection expected - October 15, 1999 Nickerson said other dangers to Atlantic salmon are the result of water withdrawals from spawning habitat, and mortality in the salmon's marine environment. Atlantic salmon may at last receive protection under the Endangered Species Act, according to an announcement by Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt Thursday. The report concludes that fewer adult salmon are returning to spawn and young salmon in the rivers are surviving at a lower rate than expected, even in the face of a considerable conservation effort. www.cnn.com /NATURE/9910/15/salmon.enn

Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar Atlantic salmon in the Great Lakes are caught using the trolling methods for chinook and coho fishing. Atlantic salmon are known throughout the world to be an exciting sport fish. Young Atlantic salmon are prime food for eels, northern pike, other trout, and birds such as mergansers and kingfishers. www.michigan.gov /dnr/0,1607,7-153-10364_18958-45639--,00.html

Trophy Atlantic Salmon Fishing Tips Atlantic salmon fishing seems to be a dying sport and I hope that this essay helps encourage a few anglers to start their addiction or continue with it and teach others what they have learned. Most people will agree that atlantic salmon angling is a very challenging sport that takes years to get good at even if you live on the banks of one of the worlds greatest salmon rivers with 3rd generation anglers living next door. Salmon often come to the surface after leaving a lay or being disturbed by another fish entering the lay (usually the smaller fish jumps). www.about-flyfishing.com /library/weekly/aa040123.htm

Governments Should Act to Save Wild Atlantic Salmon In the remainder of the range, 85 percent of wild Atlantic salmon populations are categorized as vulnerable, endangered, or critical. WWF and the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) are calling on countries participating in the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) conference in Spain from 4 to 8 June, to take vital steps including a moratorium on certain types of fishing, and more effective watershed management, to ensure the salmon's survival. Madrid, Spain - Wild Atlantic salmon have vanished from at least 309 river systems in Europe and North America and urgent action is needed to protect the species from the threat of extinction, according to a study released today by WWF, the conservation organization, in advance of next week's government delegate meeting in Galicia, Spain. www.ecoworld.com /Home/articles2.cfm?TID=298

The Atlantic Salmon's Life he Atlantic salmon's historic range encompassed the North Atlantic Ocean and its freshwater tributaries from Ungava Bay to Lake Ontario and southward to Connecticut in North America, and from Russia's White Sea to Portugal on the European coast. However Atlantic salmon can still be found in the rivers of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Iceland Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, France, Spain, Canada and the United States. he Atlantic salmon later acquire vertical markings on their flank, identifying them as in the www.asf.ca /Overall/atlsalm.html

DEP Announces Atlantic Salmon Stocking Atlantic salmon broodstock were first stocked into these two rivers to develop a fishery in 1992. As a reminder, Atlantic salmon may be taken by fly fishing and the creel limit is one fish per day. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) today announced the beginning of stocking of surplus domestic (hatchery raised) Atlantic salmon broodstock into state waters. dep.state.ct.us /whatshap/press/1998/ps100998.htm

Atlantic Salmon Description and Profile Atlantic salmon are among the most acrobatic of all gamefish. Atlantic salmon prefer water from 53° to 59° F. Eating Habits Atlantics may resemble brown trout, but the tail is slightly forked rather than square, and there are no spots on the adipose fin. www.pvisuals.com /fishing/species/atlantic_salmon.html

RESTORE: Endangered Wildlife: Atlantic Salmon Atlantic salmon were once so abundant throughout New England's watersheds that hundreds of thousands of these wild fish migrated in and out of our rivers each year. The public must demand that the Atlantic salmon be restored, or else these critical steps forward might be lost once again. In 1993, RESTORE: The North Woods took action to save from extinction the last remaining wild Atlantic salmon in the U.S. RESTORE petitioned the federal government to use the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to protect the Atlantic salmon as endangered throughout its historic range in the United States. www.restore.org /Wildlife/salmon.html

Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Humpback Salmon, Humpie Salmon, Smoked Salmon, Sockeye Salmon Atlantic salmon, native to Nova Scotia and Norway, is usually farm-raised in the United States. Lastly, Pink salmon (also known as humpback or humpie) are the smallest and most abundant of the Pacific species; the flesh is light in color and delicately flavored. Salmon are oily fish native to the North Temperate Zone. www.truestarhealth.com /Notes/1918003.html

Atlantic Salmon Fish Creek Club Atlantic salmon's nearest relative is the brown trout. Atlantic salmon, on the other hand have an anal fin that is longer than it is wide. Pacific salmon have an anal fin (the one on the bottom, nearest the tail) that is wider than it is long. www.dreamscape.com /flyman

Lost at Sea With a historical domain stretching from the Connecticut River all the way to Portugal, Atlantic salmon were the monarchs of the sea—so numerous they were once used as fertilizer. But in the 1990s, numbers of Atlantic salmon returning to their home rivers drastically declined, and no one knows why. Salmon enjoyed a brief rebound after buyouts of commercial fisheries and the introduction of aquaculture. www.smithsonianmag.si.edu /smithsonian/issues02/apr02/salmon.html

CTV.ca Atlantic salmon headed for extinction: report Wild Atlantic salmon are disappearing from Maritime rivers and streams at an alarming rate, according to a study released Thursday. He adds that any investment to reverse the Atlantic salmon's downward spiral would pay off for local economies, noting that the recreational salmon fishing industry in Quebec and the four Atlantic provinces is estimated at $200 million. Taylor says Ottawa has invested $300 million in programs to preserve Pacific salmon species, which have also experienced population declines due to many of the same problems plaguing the Atlantic salmon. www.ctv.ca /servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1086304729674_81713929/?hub=Canada

WWF Atlantic Salmon The historic range of the Atlantic salmon included the North Atlantic with freshwater tributaries from Ungava Bay to Lake Ontario and southward to Connecticut in North America, and from Russia's White Sea to Portugal on the European coast. While many of these salmon runs are now reduced or extinct, Atlantic salmon can still be found in the rivers of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, France, Spain, Canada and the United States. A world traveler, the wild Atlantic salmon is an anadromous fish - one that spawns in fresh water but spends much of its life at sea. www.worldwildlife.org /salmon/index.cfm

ATLANTIC SALMON Atlantic salmon and salmon trout (a similar species) will repeat this cycle more than once, while Pacific salmon will spawn only once and then die. Atlantic salmon inhabit coastal water on both sides of the North Atlantic. Like Pacific salmon, they are anadromous, born in fresh water, migrate to salt water to grow and mature, and return to fresh water to spawn. www.ocean.udel.edu /mas/seafood/atlansalm.html

Atlantic Salmon Atlantic salmon spend their first few years in small streams and rivers feeding on aquatic insects and other drift' that is brought into their sight by the current. Atlantic salmon make a tremendous journey during their lifetime, migrating from the fresh water streams of their youth to feeding grounds in the north Atlantic Ocean and back again to spawn. Atlantic salmon are known as the "king of fish," an appropriate title for many reasons. www.bio.umass.edu /biology/conn.river/salmon.html

Atlantic Salmon / Fish of the Great Lakes by Wisconsin Sea Grant Though most Atlantic salmon spawn in fresh water and then spend most of their life in the ocean, some also lived their entire lives in Lake Ontario up until the 1900s. Though Atlantic salmon may spawn two or three times during their lives, self-propagating stocks have not yet developed. For a few years in the 1970s, Michigan and Wisconsin also planted a strain of oceangoing Atlantic salmon in Lake Superior from stocks that spawned in the rivers of the province of Quebec. www.seagrant.wisc.edu /greatlakesfish/fatlanticsalmon1.html

ESPN Outdoors -- ESPN2: 'The fish of 1,000 casts' … and smiles For starters, it's the Atlantic salmon's legendary qualities of being perhaps the ultimate freshwater game fish: tough as nails; hard to catch; giving up one whale of a fight when hooked; and leaping from the water in an effort to dislodge the hook. It may take a lot of casts to catch an Atlantic salmon on the fly, but when you do it's time to smile big for the camera as Conway Bowman is doing. Rugged beauty, piscatorial challenge and a fish of history — no wonder the Atlantic salmon is not only the fish of 1,000 casts but the fish of 1,000 smiles. espn.go.com /outdoors/tv/s/g_fea_ESPN2_Search_Fly-Water_050311.html

Atlantic Salmon @ National Geographic Magazine There, about 50 million farmed Atlantic salmon swim round and round in pens as they are fed pellets to speed their growth, pigments to mimic the pink hue of wild salmon flesh, and pesticides to kill the lice that go hand-in-hand with an industrial feedlot. Scientists also use scales to differentiate between a wild Atlantic salmon and a captive raised one: The irregular growth rings of a wild salmon are very different from the regular growth rings of a hatchery fish. The truth is, however, that wild Atlantic salmon have been in steep decline for decades, and today the North Atlantic is dominated by a new kind of salmon. magma.nationalgeographic.com /ngm/0307/feature5/index.html

Marine World - Article on Salmon ICES has been providing scientific advice to the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) since it was established in 1983, with the objective of contributing to the conservation, restoration, enhancement, and rational management of salmon stocks. Second, as the oceanic migrations of salmon cover a wide geographic area of the North Atlantic, this means drawing scientific expertise and information from all salmon-producing nations, from Canada and the USA on the North American side and from Russia to Portugal in the Northeast Atlantic. Where the salmon advice differs somewhat from that for other species is related first to the large number of individual stocks (600 in North America and 1 500 in the Northeast Atlantic) for which advice must be provided. www.ices.dk /marineworld/salmon.asp

Atlantic Salmon Dams and pollution are hazards for the Atlantic salmon on its run to the spawning beds. In 1966 when reduced stocks caused concern on both sides of the Atlantic, Canada, the United States, and Spain banned high seas salmon fishing, although other countries did not join the ban until ten years later. However, an older and far more serious problem has been high seas fishing, which was not subject to management regulation for sustaining yields. www.nature.ca /notebooks/english/atsalmon.htm

'Atlantic Salmon' a fishy tale / Chilean industry criticized for pollution, sneaky labeling Her complaint echoes a growing dissatisfaction here and abroad over the practices of many of the approximately 60 national and foreign salmon companies operating in Chile, which has become the world's second largest exporter of farmed salmon after Norway and provider of nearly half the salmon consumed in the United States. The association's president, Victor Hugo Puchi, says salmon companies are using new technologies to control the amount of fish meal given to each salmon and to make pens tougher for sea lions to penetrate. The voluminous waste and overcrowding -- in early stages, 80,000 young salmon are typically packed into pens of 98 feet by 98 feet -- also breeds such sicknesses as Rickettsia (spotted fever) in the salmon. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2002/04/01/MN185582.DTL

Atlantic Salmon There are some salmon in inland lakes, but most are migratory, moving from their natal river out to sea and then back to the river to spawn. The salmon enter the river at different times but all spawn in the winter. After spending 2 to 6 years in the river, the salmon go out to sea, returning to spawn from 1 to 4 years later. mbgnet.mobot.org /salt/oceans/animals/salmon.html

Life Cycle of the Atlantic Salmon The adult salmon begin returning in the spring to their native stream to repeat the spawning cycle. Spawned-out salmon, called kelts or black salmon, return to the ocean or overwinter in the river. In late autumn, the female salmon buries fertilized eggs in stream bottom gravel nests called redds. www-unix.oit.umass.edu /~dpugh/cycle.html
