Catches in the North-Atlantic is at a Historic low
• Total catches
reduced by 75 %
• Norwegian catches reduced
by 50 %
• 45 salmon-stocks
in Norway is extinct
• Approx. 150 of 401 of the remaining stocks is threatened, vulnerable or weak

NJFFs wiew on salmon management
• Stronger and more firm actions against escapes from salmon-farms
• Active measures to reduce salmon-lice from farms to a sustainable level
• Habitat enhancement in rivers and a general focus on salmon when old hydropower regulations are renewed – as most of them will be towards 2022
• Increased actions to combat Gyrodactylus salaris
• Continue to lime acidified salmon rivers at today's level
• Increase and strengthen the research on salmon – general biology/ecology, environmental factors and interactions with farmed salmon
• Regulate the catches in both the sea and in the rivers depending on the stock-status

Which brings me to the most important river in Norway, and
Finland• The river Tana/Teno
– 1.200km river and tributaries with salmon reduced to 1.000km• Almost extinct, or extinct in some “tributaries”
– PFA up to 600-tons • Approx. 1.5 mill smolts to reach this PFA
– River-catch 70-250-tons (1972-2008). Average: 135-tons• Angling (60%) and drift-nets, gill-nets etc (40%)
– Every scientific research done during the last ten years points towards a heavy over-exploitation in the sea outside and in the river combined

What must be done?
• Reduce sea-fishing with bag-nets and bend-nets in the Tana fjord (Norway)
• Bag-limits for anglers
• Reduction in the allowed period to fish with other fishing-gear in the river - both on the Norwegian and Finish side of the border
• Preferably this must be done simultaneously in both countries, but if necessary one of the countries must lead the way towards a better controlled catch-regime!
