While new fishery regulation measures are implemented to maintain conservation limits and to harvest salmon stocks sustainably, more and more wild salmon populations are becoming threatened, most likely because of multiple factors, including global climate change, intensive development of salmon aquaculture industry, introductions of foreign fish species and habitat destruction. Another major threat, where knowledge status is poor, is the transmission of various pathogens from farmed to wild salmon and outbreaks of the “dormant” diseases due to increase of river and sea temperatures. Changes in climate will especially affect the Arctic areas, where the anticipated increase of temperature is the largest. Global warming will have an effect on the salmon in all stages of its life-cycle, both in the freshwater and in the sea. CoaSal will contribute to document and examine the effects of the new sea salmon fishery regulations, study the growing threats Atlantic salmon populations face today with climate change, growing cage culture industry and emerging diseases. The project raises awareness and knowledge on the unique and joint Atlantic salmon resource in the Barents region and enhances the contacts between local fishermen, management and intensifies the scientific cooperation between Norway, Finland, Russia and Sweden.
