Salmon in the Gulf of Finland (Sub-division 32)

Advice  on  management:

ICES  recommends  that,  in  light of the precarious state of wild stocks in the Gulf of Finland and the very low wild smolt production in 2000,  fisheries  should  only  be  permitted  at  siteswhere  there  is  virtually  no  chance  of  taking  wild  salmon  along  with  reared  salmon.  It  is  particularly  urgent  that  national  conservation  programmes  to  protect  wild  salmon  be  enforced  around  the  Gulf  of  Finland.
