Atlantic Salmon Federation joins Atlantic salmon research joint venture
The Atlantic Salmon Research joint venture was formed in response to record low salmon runs in 2014.
The Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF), Canada, will play a leading scientific role in the new Atlantic Salmon Research joint venture announced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
There has never been a body to coordinate work and pool resources from government, university and NGO researchers studying Atlantic salmon. This affects conservation efforts and means fewer wild Atlantic salmon for First Nations and other communities that rely on the species for food and income.
