Atlantic Salmon in Maine The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating soci- ety of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedi- cated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem- bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advis- ing the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci- ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal gov- ernment. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Acad- emy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering commu- nities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Wm. A.

A string of successful projects, from the opening of the St. Croix fishway to the renewal of commercial fishing on Card Mill Stream in Franklin, have fueled growing momentum for restoration of rivers and streams, big and small. This report is an update on the status of river herring runs in eastern Maine. It describes the value of river herring and some of the many projects underway to allow river herring to swim upstream to their spawning habitat. Because river herring are a keystone species in freshwater and marine systems—and are so responsive to restoration efforts—they have become a focus of the Downeast Fisheries Partnership effort to restore fisheries in eastern Maine.

Recovery plans are prepared by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and sometimes with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies and others. This Recovery Plan for the Gulf of Maine (GOM) Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) was prepared by the staff of the Northeast Regional Offices of NMFS with the assistance of the FWS and the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission (ASC). While the State of Maine provided recommendations for this plan, it was developed using federal guidelines and policies pertaining to recovery plans for federally listed species. Recovery plans are not regulatory or decision documents. The recommendations in a recovery plan are not considered final decisions unless and until they are actually proposed for implementation. Objectives will only be attained and hnds expended contingent upon appropriations, priorities and other budgetary constraints.

Fisheries | www.fisheries.org 191 Condit Dam, at river kilometer 5.3 on the White Salmon River, Washington, was breached in 2011 and completely removed in 2012. This action opened habitat to migratory fish for the first time in 100 years. The White Salmon Working Group was formed to create plans for fish salvage in preparation for fish recolonization and to prescribe the actions necessary to restore anadromous salmonid populations in the White Salmon River after Condit Dam removal. Studies conducted by work group members and others served to inform management decisions. Management options for individual species were considered, including natural recolonization, introduction of a neighboring stock, hatchery supplementation, and monitoring natural recolonization for some time period to assess the need for hatchery supplementation.

  • Salmon River B-Run Steelhead
    HATCHERY AND GENETIC MANAGEMENT PLAN Hatchery Program: Salmon River B-run Steelhead Species or Summer Steelhead-Oncorhynchus mykiss. Hatchery Stock: Salmon River B-run stock Agency/Operator: Idaho Department of Fish and Game Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Watershed and Region: Salmon River, Idaho. Date Submitted: Date Last Updated: October 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The management goal for the Salmon River B-run summer steelhead hatchery program is to provide fishing opportunities in the Salmon River for larger B-run type steelhead that return predominantly as 2-ocean adults. The program contributes to the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) mitigation for fish losses caused by the construction and operation of the four lower Snake River federal dams. Historically, the segregated Salmon River B-Run steelhead program has been sourced almost exclusively from broodstock collected at Dworshak National Fish Hatchery in the Clearwater River. Managers have implemented a phased transition to a locally adapted broodstock collected in the Salmon River. The first phase of this transition will involve releasing B-run juveniles (unclipped and coded wire tagged) at Pahsimeroi Fish Hatchery. Adult returns from these releases will be trapped at the Pahsimeroi facility and used as broodstock for the Salmon B-run program. The transition of this program to a locally adapted broodstock is in alignment with recommendations made by the HSRG in 2008. Managers have also initiated longer term efforts to transition the program to Yankee Fork where a satellite facility with adult holding and permanent weir is planned as part of the Crystal Springs Fish Hatchery Program. Until these facilities are constructed, broodstock collection efforts in the Yankee Fork are accomplished with temporary picket weirs in side-channel habitats adjacent to where smolts are released.

  • Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area by Salmon River Steward Luke Connor
    2008 Steward Series Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area By Salmon River Steward Luke Connor When visiting the Salmon River Falls Unique Area you may get to meet a Salmon River Steward. Salmon River Stewards serve as a friendly source of public information as they monitor “The Falls” and other public access sites along the Salmon River corridor. Stewards are knowledgeable of the area’s plants, wildlife, history, trails, and are excited to share that information with visitors. The Salmon River Falls Unique Area attracts tourists from both out of state and within New York. The Falls, located in Orwell, NY, is approximately 6 miles northeast of the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and is on Falls Rd. Recent changes at The Falls have made them even more inviting. In 2003 the Falls Trail became compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The hard gravel trail allows people with various levels of physical abilities to use its flat surface. In 2008 the Riverbed Trail and the Gorge Trail each underwent enhancements by the Adirondack (ADK) Mountain Club, but are not ADA-compliant. The first recorded people to use the Salmon River Falls Unique Area were three Native American tribes of the Iroquois Nation: the Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida. Because the 110-ft-high waterfall served as the natural barrier to Atlantic Salmon migration, the Native American tribes, and likely European settlers, congregated at the Falls to harvest fish. In 1993 the Falls property was bought by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with support from other organizations.
