6 With the Best of Intentions
7 Salmon News THE WORLD S FAVOURITE NEWSPAPER - Since B Stocked Atlantic Salmon Missing! Every year, over 5 billion hatchery reared Atlantic salmon are stocked into natural rivers and streams around the world. Yet, in many areas there have been sharp declines in salmon numbers in the wild over the last couple of decades. So where did all these stocked salmon go? Global climate change is being considered as one of the potential variables resulting in the declining returns of mature adult salmon to their natal habitats. Other studies are looking at the effects of diseases, parasites, habitat degradation as well as other anthropogenic impacts. Conservation and restoration are now key priorities for these populations. Folks who used to cast their lines into salmon pools are now sitting shoulder to shoulder with scientists, governments and the interested public at large to find solutions to restore this king of fish to its former glory. To that end, the Atlantic Salmon Federation is hosting a restoration workshop What Works, What Doesn t in September.
8 Goal of Conservation To restore self sustaining populations in the wild
9 Paradigm Shift To Convert Production Facilities to The end result would therefore become the Conservation Facilities the traditional production of ecological viable fish better fish culturists should switch from a prepared for natural releases and survival goal of maximizing productivity to a in a wild habitat. goal of maximizing biodiversity.
10 But How?
11 Research Question Can semi-natural rearing ponds be used as a Conservation Tool in Atlantic Salmon restoration?
12 Study Metric To measure the morphological responses of Atlantic salmon fingerlings to conventional, semi-natural and wild rearing conditions

30 Summary Semi-natural ponds produce fish more similar in shape and fin quality to their natural counterparts. Shape plasticity is not an immediate response in novel environments and can take months to fully occur. Substrate produces better fin qualities even at high densities. Increased habitat and flow complexity is beneficial in producing fish with a more wild-like shape Fish reared in semi-natural ponds may be better suited for life in the wild than their conventionally reared counterparts for a number of reasons including their overall shape and fin-condition (better at foraging, recognition of complex habitat structures, predator avoidance, etc )
