Recovery Plan Pages
Current Threats
Current threats to Atlantic salmon include both the primary and secondary factors identified in the final rule (74 FR 29344). In addition, this recovery plan identifies undersized or poorly designed and installed road stream crossings as a primary threat and – to account for rapidly changing environmental conditions – places greater emphasis on addressing threats to the co-evolved diadromous fish community and to fully functioning and connected habitats.
Captive Broodstock Maangement Plan for Atlantic salmon
There are two primary goals of the Broodstock Management Plan (BMP). The first goal is to describe and explain current broodstock management practices at CBNFH.
