Atlantic salmon from North America

Because the NASCO Framework of Indicators of North American stocks for 2015 (run in January 2016) did not indicate the need for a revised analysis of catch options, the management advice provided in the multiyear advice from 2015 for 2016 and 2017 remains unchanged. In the 2015 advice, there were no mixed-stock fishery catch options for 2015 to 2018 on 1SW non-maturing and 2SW salmon in North America consistent with the management objectives defined for this stock complex. Management advice in the form of catch options is only provided by ICES for the non-maturing 1SW and maturing 2SW com-ponents, as the maturing 1SW component is not fished outside of home waters.
