The Workshop on Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Atlantic Salmon Stock Dynamics (WKCCISAL) met at the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas’ headquarters from 27-28 March 2017. A total of 26 participants met to provide the scientific basis to respond to a request for advice from the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization.  With changing climatic and oceanic conditions, there is potential for effects to be reflected in salmon feeding, growth, survival and migratory routes. WKCCISAL was asked to review predicted climatic changes over the distributional range of wild Atlantic salmon as well as literature and research on the biological and environmental drivers that affect stock dynamics. The report summarizes current knowledge of ongoing and future anthropogenic climate change and its associated consequences on Atlantic Salmon Stock Dynamics.
