Atlantic salmon, also known as the “King of Fish” are an iconic species of the Northeast and once supported fisheries throughout their range. Today, commercial and recreational fishing for Atlantic salmon in the United States is prohibited.
Atlantic salmon have been listed under the Endangered Species Act since 2000. Our team studies what’s causing continued low numbers of U.S. Atlantic salmon to help managers develop plans to restore a sustainable population.
The Atlantic salmon is actually one species within the genus Salmo. There are seven different species of Pacific salmon, which belong to the genus Oncorhynchus. Atlantic salmon generally don't live long after spawning but are capable of surviving and spawning again.
We study the nutrients imported into freshwater environments from fish returning from feeding at sea. Scientists are researching how these nutrients can support juvenile Atlantic salmon growth and survival. These nutrients may also support other river species, such as brook trout.
Endangered Atlantic salmon are a Species in the Spotlight. Learn about the threats facing Atlantic salmon, and about what you can do to help protect and restore Atlantic salmon and their ecosystems.
Endangered Species Conservation Atlantic Salmon And Ocean Ecology. Atlantic salmon spend half of their lives in the North Atlantic Ocean. We work to better understand what they need there, where they go, and how a changing climate can affect their survival.
The Atlantic salmon is the only species of salmon native to the east coast of the U.S. Once celebrated as the “king of fish,” only 1% of the historic population remains. This video spotlights efforts to recover their population, and how you can help.
Endangered Species Conservation Atlantic Salmon Fish Passage and Dams. Atlantic salmon evolved to migrate in and out of rivers. We investigate how human-made barriers in those rivers affect Atlantic salmon.
Scientists have sampled several fish species for pathogens, including cod, eel, halibut, mackerel, trout, smelt, and flounder. Since 2000, scientists have sampled over 5,000 fish representing 23 species. These 23 species can all interact with Atlantic salmon in shared habitats.
