Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) at West Greenland

ICES advises that, in line with the management objectives agreed by the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) and consistent with the MSY approach, there should be zero catch at West Greenland in 2026. This is the same catch advice that was issued for 2024 and 2025.

ICES advises that when the MSY approach is applied, fishing should only take place on Atlantic salmon from rivers where stocks are at full reproductive capacity. Mixed-stock fisheries present particular threats and should be managed based on the individual status of all stocks exploited in the fishery.
