Figure 3.3.6.3. Least squared (marginal mean) average annual survival indices (%) of wild (left hand panels) and hatchery origin smolts (right hand panels) of 1SW (red) and 2SW (blue) salmon to Northern (top panels) and Southern NEAC areas (bottom panels). For most rivers in Southern NEAC, the values are returns to the coast prior to the homewater coastal fisheries. Annual means derived from a general linear model analysis of rivers in a region with a quasi-Poisson distribution (log-link function). Error bars represent standard errors. Note the y-axis scale is on a log scale and differs among panels, and there are no return rates in 1993 and 1994 for 2SW wild smolts in the Northern NEAC. Trend lines are from locally weighted polynomial regression (LOESS) and are meant to be a visual interpretation aid. Following details in Tables 3.3.6.1 and 3.3.6.2 the analyses included estimated survival (%) to 1SW and 2SW returns by smolt year.

# 4 North American Commission

## 4.1 NASCO has requested ICES to describe the key events of the 2018 fisheries

The previous advice provided by ICES (2018) indicated that there were no mixed-stock fishery catch options on the 1SW non-maturing salmon component for the 2018 to 2020 PFA years. The NASCO Framework of Indicators of North American stocks for 2019 did not indicate the need for a revised analysis of catch options and no new management advice for 2019 is provided. The assessment was updated to 2018 and the stock status is consistent with the previous years' assessments and catch advice.

### 4.1.1 Key events of the 2018 fisheries

There were no significant changes in the 2018 fisheries.

### 4.1.2 Gear and effort

#### Canada

The 23 areas for which Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) manages the salmon fisheries are called Salmon Fishing Areas (SFAs). Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon, SFA 22 and part of SFA 23, have been federally listed as endangered under the Canadian Species at Risk Act and information for these stocks are not included in the information and advice provided to NASCO, as with the exception of one population, these stocks have a localized migration strategy while at sea and an incidence of maturity after one winter at sea. In Québec, the management of Atlantic salmon is delegated to the province (Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune, et des Parcs) and the fishing areas are designated by Q1 through Q11 (Figure 4.1.2.1). Harvests (fish which were retained) and catches (including harvests and fish caught and released in recreational fisheries) are categorized in two size groups: small and large. Small salmon, generally 1SW, in the recreational and subsistence fisheries refer to salmon less than 63 cm fork length. In historic commercial fisheries small salmon refer to fish less than 2.7 kg whole weight. Large salmon, generally MSW and repeat spawners, in recreational and subsistence fisheries are greater than or equal to 63 cm fork length. In historic commercial fisheries, large salmon refer to fish greater than or equal to 2.7 kg whole weight.

Three groups exploited salmon in Canada in 2018: Indigenous; Labrador resident subsistence, and recreational fishers. There were no commercial salmon fisheries in Canada in 2018 and retaining bycatch of salmon in commercial fisheries targeting other species is not permitted. Salmon discards from these fisheries are not estimated, however, previous analyses by ICES indicated the extent was low (ICES, 2004). The sale of Atlantic salmon caught in any Canadian fishery is prohibited.

In 2018, four subsistence fisheries harvested salmon in Labrador: 1) Nunatsiavut Government (NG) members fishing in northern Labrador communities (Rigolet, Makkovik, Hopedale, Postville, and Nain); 2) Innu Nation members fishing in the northern Labrador community of Natashish and Lake Melville community of Sheshatshiu; 3) NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) members fishing in southern Labrador and Lake Melville and, 4) Labrador residents fishing in Lake Melville and various coastal communities. The NG, Innu, and NCC fisheries were monitored by Indigenous Fishery Guardians/Officers jointly administered by the Indigenous groups and DFO. Fish were caught using multifilament gillnets of 15 fathoms (27.4 m) in length
of a stretched mesh size ranging from 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm). Nets are generally set in estuaries and coastal bays within headlands. Catch statistics are based on logbook reports.

Most catches (92% in 2018, Figure 2.1.1.2) in Canada now take place in rivers or in estuaries. Fisheries are principally managed on a river-by-river basis and in areas where retention of large salmon in recreational fisheries is allowed, the fisheries are closely controlled. In other areas, fisheries are managed on larger management units that encompass a collection of geographically neighbouring stocks. The commercial fisheries are now closed and the remaining coastal subsistence fisheries in Labrador are mainly located in bays generally inside the headlands. Sampling of the Labrador subsistence fisheries continued in 2018 for biological characteristics and tissue samples to identify the origin of harvested salmon.

The following management measures were in effect in 2018:

## Indigenous food, social, and ceremonial (FSC) fisheries

In Québec, Indigenous fisheries took place subject to agreements, conventions or through permits issued to the communities. There are approximately ten communities with subsistence fisheries in addition to the fishing activities of the Inuit in Ungava (Q11), who fished in estuaries or within rivers. The permits generally stipulate gear, season, and catch limits. Catches with permits have to be reported collectively by each Indigenous group. However, catches under a convention, such as for Inuit in Ungava, do not have to be reported. When reports are not available, the catches are estimated based on the most reliable information available (i.e. local enforcement officer or biologist reports). In the Maritimes (SFAs 15 to 23), FSC agreements were signed with several Indigenous groups (mostly First Nations) in 2018. The signed agreements often included allocations of small and large salmon and the area of fishing was usually in-river or estuaries. Harvests that occurred both within and outside agreements were obtained directly from the Indigenous groups. In Labrador (SFAs 1 and 2), FSC agreements with the NG, Innu, and NCC resulted in fisheries in estuaries and coastal areas. By agreement with First Nations, there were no FSC fisheries for salmon in Newfoundland in 2018. Harvests by Indigenous recreational fishers were reported under the recreational harvest categories.

## Labrador resident subsistence fisheries

DFO is responsible for regulating the Labrador resident fishery. In 2018, a licensed gillnet subsistence trout and charr fishery for Labrador residents took place in estuary and coastal areas of Labrador. A total of 271 licences were issued in 2018. Conditions restrict a seasonal bycatch of three salmon of any size while fishing for trout and charr; three salmon tags accompanied each licence. Resident fishers were required to remove their nets from the water once their bycatch of salmon was caught. Catches exceeding three salmon must be discarded. All licensed resident fishers were requested to complete and return logbooks to DFO.

## Recreational fisheries

Licences are required to fish recreationally for Atlantic salmon in Canada. Gear is restricted to fly fishing and there are daily and seasonal bag limits. Recreational fisheries management in 2018 varied by area and large portions of the southern areas remained closed to all directed salmon fisheries (Figure 4.1.2.2).

Within the province of Québec, there are 114 salmon rivers. Fishing for salmon was prohibited on 33 rivers. Large salmon could be retained throughout the season on eight rivers (seven in the north and lower North shore, and one in the South on the Causapscal, a tributary of the Matape dia River) and for part of the season on six other rivers. Small salmon could be retained for the entire season on 59 rivers and 8 rivers permit catch and release only. In 2018, the new seasonal permit allowed a total retention of four salmon for the season, of which only one could be a large salmon. The only exception was for the four rivers located in the Ungava Bay region, where
anglers could retain four salmon of any size. Before that change, the annual limit in Québec per angler was seven salmon of any size.

Mandatory catch and release measures for large salmon have been in effect since 1984 in the Maritime provinces of Canada (SFA 15 to 23). Following the very low returns to many Gulf rivers in 2014, mandatory catch and release measures for small salmon were implemented in the Gulf region (SFAs 15 to 18) in 2015 and have continued. In 2018, due to prolonged warm-water temperatures, sections of the Miramichi and Margaree rivers were closed to recreational fishing for 47 and 18 days, respectively. In Scotia-Fundy (SFAs 19 to 23), only three rivers (located in eastern Cape Breton, SFA 19) were open to angling for Atlantic salmon, restricted to catch and release.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, changes to recreational retention and catch and release limits were implemented in 2018 after two poor years of salmon returns in 2016 and 2017. The previous retention limit of two, four or six small salmon depending on the river classification system (Veinott et al., 2013) was reduced to one small salmon per season in 2018. In addition, the daily limit for catch and release angling was reduced from four salmon to three, along with the implementation of a seasonal catch and release limit of 10 fish. During the 2018 angling season, 83% (131) of scheduled rivers (158) in Newfoundland were closed for part of the season due to environmental conditions (high water temperatures and/or low water levels). In total, 30.9% of angler days (product of rivers and days closed) were lost due to environmental closures in Newfoundland in 2018, the highest since 1987 (36.9%). The retention fishery was closed in Newfoundland (20 July 2018) and Labrador (3 August 2018) after in-season reviews based on the returns to date and expected returns to the end of the year.

In all areas of eastern Canada, there is no estimate of salmon released as bycatch in recreational fisheries targeting other species.

## USA

There were no recreational or commercial fisheries for anadromous Atlantic salmon in the USA in 2018.

## France (Islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon)

Nine professional and 80 recreational gillnet licences were issued in 2018 (Table 4.1.2.1), the maximum numbers permitted for both groups by legislation. Professional licences had a maximum authorization of three nets of 360 metres maximum length each whereas recreational licences were restricted to one net of 180 metres. The selling of Atlantic salmon was only allowed by professional licence holders and was restricted to within the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

### 4.1.3 Catches in 2018

#### Canada

The provisional harvest of salmon in 2018 by all users was 89.5 t, approximately 19% lower than the 2017 harvest of 109.9 t (Tables 2.1.1.1, 2.1.1.2; Figure 4.1.3.1). The 2018 harvest was the lowest in the time-series since 1960. The 2018 harvest was comprised of 27 765 small salmon (49.7 t) and 8420 large salmon (39.8 t), 11% fewer small salmon and 27% fewer large salmon by number compared to 2017. There has been a dramatic decline in harvest since 1988 as a result of the closure of commercial fisheries (year of closure: Newfoundland 1992, Labrador 1998, Québec 2000).

The Working Group recommends complete and timely reporting of catch statistics from all fisheries for all areas of eastern Canada.
## Indigenous FSC fisheries

The provisional harvest by Indigenous groups in 2018 was 53.4 t, lower than the 61.3 t reported in 2017 (Table 4.1.3.1). The percentage of large salmon by number (43%) was lower than the approximately 50% of the previous three years.

In Labrador, total catch from Indigenous fishers was estimated by raising the reported catch to the total number of fishers. For Québec, catches from the Indigenous fisheries were to be reported collectively by each Indigenous community. As in Québec, Indigenous groups with fishing agreements in the DFO Gulf and Maritimes regions were expected to report their catches. When reports were not available, the catches were estimated on the basis of the most reliable information available (i.e. local enforcement officer or biologist reports). The reliability of the catch estimates varies among user groups. Reports in most years were incomplete. The 2018 values will be updated when the reports are finalised.

## Labrador resident subsistence fisheries

The estimated catch for the Labrador resident fisheries in 2018 was 1.5 t, similar to the previous year and the lowest values since the time-series began in 2000. This represents approximately 592 fish, 26% large by number (Table 4.1.3.2).

## Recreational fisheries

Harvest in recreational fisheries in 2018 totalled 18 587 small and large salmon (34.7 t). This harvest, by number, decreased 22.2% from the 2017 harvest and 34.0% from the previous five-year mean, and is the lowest in the time-series since 1974 (Table 4.1.3.3; Figure 4.1.3.2). The small salmon harvest of 17 627 fish was 19.9% lower than the 2017 harvest. The large salmon harvest of 960 fish was 49.1% below the 2017 harvest and these were taken exclusively in Québec in both years. The small salmon size group has contributed 90% on average of the total recreational harvests since the imposition of catch and release measures for large salmon in recreational fisheries in the Maritimes (SFA 15 to 23) and Newfoundland (SFA 3 to 14B) in 1984 (retention of large salmon ceased in Labrador in 2011).

In 2018, 50 184 salmon (27 708 small and 22 476 large) were caught and released (Table 4.1.3.4; Figure 4.1.3.3), representing 73% of the total catch (including retained fish), the highest value of the time-series and has consistently been above 50% since 1997. For large salmon, 96% of the catch was released (retention permitted only in Québec), which was the highest value in the time-series (since 1984 closures in Maritimes and Newfoundland).

Recreational catch statistics for Atlantic salmon are not collected regularly in all areas of Canada and there is no enforceable mechanism in place that requires anglers to report their catch statistics, except in Québec where reporting of harvested salmon is an enforced legal requirement. The last recreational angler survey for New Brunswick was conducted in 1997, and the catch rates for the Miramichi River from that survey have been used to estimate catches (both harvest and catch and release) for all subsequent years.

## Commercial fisheries

All commercial fisheries for Atlantic salmon remained closed in Canada in 2018 and the catch therefore was zero.

## Unreported catches

The unreported catch for Canada totalled 24.4 t in 2018. The majority of this unreported catch is illegal fisheries directed at salmon (Tables 2.1.3.1, 2.1.3.2). Of the unreported catch, which could be attributed to a geographic location, 8 t was considered to have occurred in inland waters, 1 t in estuaries and 3 t in marine waters.
## USA

There are no commercial or recreational fisheries for anadromous Atlantic salmon in the USA and the catch therefore was zero. Unreported catches in the USA were estimated to be 0 t.

## France (Islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon)

A total harvest of 1.3 t was reported for Saint Pierre and Miquelon in 2018, a decrease of 54% from the 2017 reported harvest of 2.8 t (Tables 2.1.1.1, 4.1.2.1) and the third lowest catch in the time-series since 1990.

There are no unreported catch estimates for the time-series.

### 4.1.4 Harvest of North American salmon, expressed as 2SW salmon equivalents

Harvest histories (1972 to 2018) of salmon, expressed as 2SW salmon equivalents in the PFA year (year of 1SW salmon at sea), are provided in Table 4.1.4.1. The Newfoundland and Labrador commercial fishery was historically a mixed-stock fishery and harvested both maturing and non-maturing 1SW salmon as well as 2SW maturing salmon. The harvest of repeat spawners and older sea ages was not considered in the run-reconstructions.

Harvests of 1SW non-maturing salmon in Newfoundland and Labrador commercial fisheries have been adjusted by natural mortalities of 3% per month for 13 months, and 2SW harvests in these same fisheries have been adjusted by one month to express all harvests as 2SW equivalents in the year and time they would reach rivers of origin. The Labrador commercial fishery has been closed since 1998. Harvests from the Indigenous Peoples' fisheries in Labrador (since 1998) and the residents' food fishery in Labrador (since 2000) are both included. Mortalities in mixed-stock fisheries and losses in terminal locations (including harvests, losses from catch and release mortality and other removals including broodstock) in Canada were summed with those of the USA to estimate total 2SW equivalent losses in North America. The terminal fisheries included coastal, estuarine and river catches of all areas, except Newfoundland and Labrador where only river catches were included, and excluding Saint Pierre & Miquelon. Data inputs were updated to 2018.

Total 2SW harvest equivalents of North American origin salmon in all fisheries peaked at 526 000 fish in 1974 and was above 200 000 fish in most years until 1990 (Table 4.1.4.1; Figure 4.1.4.1). Harvest equivalents within North America peaked at about 363 000 in 1976 and have remained below 12 000 2SW salmon equivalents for most years between 1999 and 2018 (Table 4.1.4.1; Figure 4.1.4.1). The proportion of the 2SW harvest equivalents taken in North America has varied from 0.46 to 0.65 of the total removals in all fisheries during 2007 to 2018 (Figure 4.1.4.1).

In the most recent year (2018), the losses of the cohort destined to be 2SW salmon in terminal areas of North America was estimated at 3405 fish (median), 49% of the total North American catch of 2SW salmon. The percentages of harvests occurring in terminal fisheries ranged from 17 to 33% during 1972 to 1991 and 44 to 87% during 1992 to 2018 (Table 4.1.4.1). Percentages increased significantly since 1992 with the reduction and closures of the Newfoundland and Labrador commercial mixed-stock fisheries. The percentage of 2SW salmon harvested in North American fisheries in 2018 is 57% (Table 4.1.4.1). The percentages of the 2SW harvests by fishery and fishing area are summarized in Figure 4.1.4.1. The percentage of the 2SW harvest equivalents taken at Greenland was as high as 56% in 1992 and 2002 and as low as 5% in 1994 when the internal use fishery at Greenland was suspended (Figure 4.1.4.1). In the last three years, the Greenland share of the 2SW harvest equivalents has been 36% to 53%. For similar years, the harvests in the Labrador subsistence fisheries have been 22 to 33% of the total harvests and 19% to 24% in terminal fisheries of Québec (Figure 4.1.4.1).
## 4.1.5 Origin and composition of catches

In the past, salmon from both Canada and the USA were taken in the commercial fisheries of eastern Canada. Sampling programs of current marine fisheries (Labrador and Saint Pierre and Miquelon) are used to determine region of origin of harvested salmon.

### Labrador subsistence fisheries sampling program

Salmon harvested in the Labrador subsistence fisheries (SFAs 1 and 2, Figure 4.1.2.1) were sampled opportunistically for length, weight, sex, scales (for age analysis) and tissue (genetic analysis). Fish were also examined for the presence of external tags or marks.

In 2018, a total of 799 samples (6% of harvest by number) were collected from the Labrador subsistence fisheries: 131 from northern Labrador (SFA 1A), 308 from Lake Melville (SFA 1B), and 360 samples from southern Labrador (SFA 2) (Figure 4.1.2.1). Not all scales can be interpreted for sea age and/or river age. Based on the interpretation of the scale samples (n=788), percentage sea age composition was 81% 1SW, 15% 2SW, 3% 3SW and 1% previously spawned salmon. All of the salmon sampled (n=786) were river ages 3 to 6 years (modal age 4, 65%). There were no river age 1 or 2 salmon sampled, suggesting, as in previous years (2006 to 2017), that very few salmon from the most southern stocks of North America (USA, Scotia-Fundy) were exploited in these fisheries.

For 2017 and 2018, a total of 994 samples from the Labrador subsistence salmon fisheries were analysed using the SNP panel with 31 range-wide reporting groups (Table 4.1.5.1; Figures 4.1.5.1, 4.1.5.2). The estimated percent contributions (and associated 95% credible interval) to each reporting group are shown in Tables 4.1.5.2 and 4.1.5.3 and summarized in Figures 4.1.5.3 and 4.1.5.4. As in previous years, the estimated origin of the samples was dominated (>98%) by the Labrador groups. Although two samples of USA origin were detected in the 2017, none were detected in 2018. The dominance of the Labrador reporting group is consistent with previous analyses conducted for the period 2006–2016 which estimated >95.0% of the harvest was attributable to Labrador stocks. Furthermore, assignment of harvest within the three Labrador genetic reporting groups suggest largely local harvest within salmon fishing areas.

The percentage of the small salmon and large salmon catch which was sampled and analysed for stock origin was approximately 3% to 4% by size group in 2017 and 2018, indicating that the size groups are equally represented in the analysed samples. The percentage of the catch which is processed for stock origin (3.8%), is less than the percentage of the catch sampled (6% by number) due to resource constraints.

## Saint Pierre and Miquelon fisheries sampling programme

Fifty-six samples (9% of harvest by number) were collected from the Saint Pierre and Miquelon salmon fishery between 31 May and 4 July 2018. Based on the interpretation of the scale samples, percentage sea age composition was 93% 1SW and 7% 2SW, with no previously spawned salmon. River ages ranged from two to five years (modal age 3).

A total of 193 (137 in 2017 and 56 in 2018) samples collected from the Saint Pierre and Miquelon fisheries were analysed using the SNP panel range wide baseline (Figures 4.1.5.1 and 4.1.5.2). The estimated percent contributions to the reporting groups (and associated 95% credible interval) are shown in Table 4.1.5.4 and summarized in Figures 4.1.5.5 and 4.1.5.6. In contrast to previous years when samples of the catch were dominated by large salmon (≥63 cm), samples for 2017 and 2018 were dominated by small salmon (&lt;63 cm) (Figure 4.1.5.7). Analysis using the SNP panel of the 193 individuals showed the consistent dominance of three reporting groups and little differences between the two years (83–89%: from southern Gulf of St Lawrence, Gaspe Peninsula, and Newfoundland) (Figures 4.1.5.5 and 4.1.5.6 and Table 4.1.5.4). The largest contribution in both years was from the Newfoundland reporting groups totalling >60% in each year.

There was no information on how the samples were collected, however the proportion of the catch comprising small salmon was reported to have been 0.77 whereas the proportion small
salmon in the samples was 0.93 indicating that sampling was not representative of the total catch in 2018.

### Recommendations for future activities

The Working Group recommends improved catch statistics and sampling of the Labrador and Saint Pierre and Miquelon fisheries. Improved catch statistics and sampling of all aspects of the fishery across the fishing season will improve the information on biological characteristics and stock origin of salmon harvested in these mixed-stock fisheries.

### 4.1.6 Exploitation rates

#### Canada

Provisional mean exploitation rates in the 2018 recreational fishery for retained small salmon was 5.8% for Newfoundland (eleven rivers; range of 2 to 20%) and 1.4% for Labrador (Sand Hill River only), a decrease from the previous five year mean of 46% for Newfoundland and 54% for Labrador. In Québec, total fishing exploitation rate was estimated at 16%, with rates of 7% for the Indigenous fishery and 9% for the recreational fishery. The recreational exploitation rate for large salmon in Québec was 3%, the lowest value observed since 1984; it is mostly influenced by the increase in the number of released fish in recent years due to regulatory changes. Retention of small and large salmon in the recreational fisheries of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island was not permitted in 2018.

#### USA

There was no exploitation of anadromous salmon in homewaters.

#### Exploitation trends for North American salmon fisheries

Annual exploitation rates of small salmon (mostly 1SW) and large salmon (mostly MSW) in North America for the 1971 to 2018 time period were calculated by dividing annual estimated losses (harvests, estimated mortality from catch and release (ICES, 2010), broodstock) in all North American fisheries by annual estimates of the returns to North America prior to any homewater fisheries. The fisheries included coastal, estuarine and river fisheries in all areas, as well as the commercial fisheries of Newfoundland and Labrador, which harvested salmon from all regions in North America.

Exploitation rates of both small and large salmon fluctuated annually but remained relatively steady until 1984 when exploitation of large salmon declined sharply with the introduction of the non-retention of large salmon in angling fisheries and reductions in commercial fisheries (Figure 4.1.6.1). Exploitation of small salmon declined steeply in North America with the closure of the Newfoundland commercial fishery in 1992. Declines continued in the 1990s with continuing management controls in all fisheries to reduce exploitation. In the last few years, exploitation rates on small salmon and large salmon have remained at the lowest in the time-series, averaging 9% for large salmon and 13% for small salmon over the past ten years. However, exploitation rates across regions within North America are highly variable.

### 4.2 Management objectives and reference points

Management objectives are described in Section 1.4 and reference points and the application of precaution are described in Section 1.5.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has undertaken a revision of reference points for Atlantic salmon in Canada that conform to the Precautionary Approach (ICES, 2016). DFO Maritimes Region (Scotia-Fundy) has retained the current conservation requirement based on 240 eggs per
100 m² as the Limit Reference Point (DFO, 2012; Gibson and Claytor, 2013). DFO Newfoundland Region retained the current conservation requirement based on 240 eggs per 100 m² of fluvial rearing habitat, and in addition for insular Newfoundland 368 eggs per ha of lacustrine habitat (or 150 eggs per ha for stocks on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland), as equivalent to their Limit Reference Point and have defined the Upper Stock Reference as 150% of the Limit Reference Point (DFO, 2017). The Province of Québec revised the Limit Reference point and Upper Stock Reference point using a Bayesian hierarchical analysis of stock-recruitment data (Dionne et al., 2015; MFFP, 2016; ICES, 2017a). DFO Gulf Region revised and defined the Limit Reference Point in that region of Canada using the proportion of eggs from MSW salmon as a covariate in the Bayesian Hierarchical Model (DFO, 2018). The Limit Reference Points in all cases are defined in terms of total eggs from all sizes and sea ages of salmon.

As changes were made to the reference points used to manage harvests of large salmon in DFO Gulf Region and Québec, the 2SW salmon Conservation Limits (CLs) were revised. DFO (2018a) provides the DFO Gulf Region river-specific egg requirements corresponding to the Limit Reference Point as well as the mean number of small salmon and large salmon which would contribute these eggs based on mean life-history characteristics available. The proportion 2SW salmon in the large salmon size group is an input value used in the run-reconstruction of abundance of 2SW salmon, and this value varies by Salmon Fishing Area in DFO Gulf Region. The sum of the river-specific large salmon requirement by Salmon Fishing Area (15 to 18), the proportions 2SW in the large salmon size group by area and the corresponding revised 2SW requirements for DFO Gulf Region are summarized in the table below.

<table><thead><tr><td>Salmon Fishing area</td><td>Total large salmon required</td><td>prop. 2Sw in large salmon size group</td><td>2sw requirement</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>15</td><td>9 704</td><td>0.65</td><td>6 308</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>14 202</td><td>0.68</td><td>9 707</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>729</td><td>1.00</td><td>729</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>2 431</td><td>0.82</td><td>1993</td></tr><tr><td>Southern Gulf of St Lawrence</td><td>27 066</td><td></td><td>18 737</td></tr></tbody></table>

For Québec, MFFP's management plan for recreational fishery (MFFP, 2016) provides river-specific upper reference points, expressed in number of eggs, to regulate large salmon retention. Based on a mean 2SW proportion of 0.449 in the returns, a mean weight of 4.54 kg, a mean fecundity of 1535 eggs per kg and a female proportion of 0.71, the 2SW requirement is provisionally revised at 32 085.

The revised 2SW CL (18 737 fish) for Gulf is a 38% decrease from the previous value whereas the revised 2SW CL for Québec is a slight increase (9%) from the previous value. Revised CLs for 2SW salmon for Canada total 114 295 (previous value 123 349) for a combined revised total for North America of 143 494 2SW salmon (previous value 152 548). No other changes to the 2SW CLs or the Management Objectives were made from those identified previously (ICES, 2015b).

The revised 2SW CL values will be used in the next full assessment and catch advice period, in 2021, or earlier if the framework of indicators for 2020 indicates that an earlier assessment and revised catch advice would be warranted.

## 4.3 Status of stocks

Based on information provided in the update (2018) of the NASCO Database of Salmon Rivers, a total of 857 rivers have been identified in eastern Canada. There are 21 rivers in eastern USA where salmon are or were present within the last half century. Conservation requirements have been defined for 498 (58%) of these rivers in eastern Canada and all rivers in USA. Assessments of adult spawners and egg depositions relative to conservation requirements were reported for 86 rivers in eastern North America in 2018.

### 4.3.1 Smolt abundance

#### Canada

Wild smolt production was estimated in 12 rivers in 2018 (Table 4.3.1.1). The relative smolt production, standardized to the size of the river using the CL egg requirements, was highest in Vieux-Fort River (Québec) and lowest in Rocky River (Newfoundland) (Figure 4.3.1.1). Trends in smolt production over the time-series declined (p <0.05) in Nashwaak River (Scotia-Fundy, 1998–2016), Conne River (Newfoundland, 1987–2017) and the two monitored rivers of Québec (St. Jean, 1989–2018; de la Trinite, 1984–2018), whereas production significantly increased (p <0.05) in Western Arm Brook (Newfoundland, 1971–2018). No other rivers showed statistically significant long-term trends (Figure 4.3.1.1).

#### USA

In 2018, wild salmon relative smolt production was estimated on the Sheepscot River and the Narraguagus River (Table 4.3.1.1; Figure 4.3.1.1). Smolt production has declined over time (p<0.05) in both Sheepscot River (2009–2018) and Narraguagus River (1997–2018).

### 4.3.2 Estimates of total adult abundance

Returns of small (1SW), large (MSW), and 2SW salmon (a subset of large) to each region were originally estimated by the methods and variables developed by Rago *et al.* (1993) and reported
by ICES (1993). Further details are provided in the Stock Annex (Annex 6). The returns for individual river systems and management areas for both sea age groups were derived from a variety of methods. These methods included counts of salmon at monitoring facilities, population estimates from mark-recapture studies, and applying angling and commercial catch statistics, angling exploitation rates, and measurements of freshwater habitat. The 2SW component of the large returns was determined using the sea age composition of one or more indicator stocks.

Returns are the number of salmon that returned to the geographic region, including fish caught by homewater commercial fisheries, except in the case of the Newfoundland and Labrador regions where returns do not include landings in commercial and food fisheries. This avoided double counting fish because commercial catches in Newfoundland and Labrador and food fisheries in Labrador were added to the sum of regional returns to create the pre-fishery abundance estimates (PFA) of North American salmon.

Total returns of salmon to USA rivers are the sum of trap catches and redd-based estimates.

Data from previous years were updated and corrections were made to data inputs when required (e.g. 2017 data were finalised and 2018 data are considered to be preliminary).

Since 2002, Labrador regional estimates are generated from data collected at four counting facilities, one in SFA 1 and three in SFA 2 (Figures 4.1.2.1, 4.3.2.1). The current method to estimate Labrador returns assumes that the total returns to the northern area are represented by returns at the single monitoring facility in SFA 1 and returns in the southerly areas (SFA 2 and 14b) are represented by returns at the three monitoring facilities in SFA 2. The production area (km²) in SFA 1 is approximately equal to the combined production area in SFA 2 and 14b. The uncertainty in the estimates of returns and spawners has been relatively high compared with other regions in recent years (approximate coefficient of variation of 12–26% since 2002).

The Working Group recommends that additional monitoring be considered in Labrador to estimate stock status for that region. Additionally, efforts should be undertaken to evaluate the utility of other available data sources (e.g. Indigenous and recreational catches and effort) to describe stock status in Labrador.

Estimates of small, large and 2SW salmon returns to the six geographic areas and overall for NAC are reported in Tables 4.3.2.1 to 4.3.2.3 and are shown in Figures 4.3.2.2 to 4.3.2.4.

## Small salmon returns

* The total estimate of small salmon returns to North America in 2018 (581 700) was 29% higher than the revised estimated returns in 2017 (449 400), and the 2018 estimate ranks third (descending rank) out of the 48 year time-series.

* Small salmon returns decreased in 2018 from the previous year in the southern regions (Québec, Gulf, Scotia-Fundy, USA) and increased in the northern regions of Newfoundland and Labrador.

* Small salmon returns in 2018 were the third lowest on record for Gulf (19 050), and the second lowest on record for Scotia-Fundy (1346).

* Small salmon returns to Labrador (285 000) and Newfoundland (252 400) combined represented 92% of the total small salmon returns to North America (581 700) in 2018.

## Large salmon returns

* The total estimate of large salmon returns to North America in 2018 (131 800) was 24% lower than the revised estimate for 2017 (172 800).

* Large salmon returns decreased from the previous year in four (Labrador, Newfoundland, Québec, and USA) of the six geographical regions in 2018, and increased in Gulf and Scotia-Fundy.
* Large salmon returns in 2018 were the third lowest on record for Québec, the fourth lowest for Scotia-Fundy, and the fifth lowest on record for USA, whereas large salmon returns to Labrador (45 900) in 2018 were the seventh highest on record.

* Large salmon returns to Labrador (45 900), Québec (27 800), and Gulf (33 100) combined represented 81% of the total large salmon returns to North America in 2018.

## 2SW salmon returns

* The total estimate of 2SW salmon returns to North America in 2018 (78 100) was 23% lower than the revised estimate for 2017 (102 000).

* 2SW salmon returns decreased from the previous year in four (Labrador, Newfoundland, Québec, and USA) of the six geographical regions in 2018, and increased in Gulf and Scotia-Fundy.

* 2SW salmon returns in 2018 were among the lowest values on record, 36th to 46th, in five of the six assessment regions, the exception being Labrador with estimated 2SW salmon returns in 2018 being seventh highest of the 28-year time-series.

* 2SW salmon returns to Labrador (29 800), Québec (20 300), and Gulf (23 700) combined represented 95% of 2SW salmon returns to North America in 2018. There are few 2SW salmon returns to Newfoundland (2300 in 2018), as the majority of the large salmon returns to that region are comprised of previously spawned 1SW salmon.

Estimated returns of small salmon and large salmon for Québec in 2018 are likely underestimated. As a result of low water conditions, adult returns in 2018 in a number of rivers did not occur until after the spawner surveys had been conducted in the early autumn when conditions are generally favourable for visual surveys. No correction for this was provided in the data used in the run-reconstruction and realized returns to Québec in 2018 are expected to be better than presented here.

Increased estimated abundance of small salmon in Newfoundland is not reflected in all areas of Newfoundland (Figure 4.3.2.5). Estimated abundance has increased in the salmon fishing areas of the northeast coast of Newfoundland (SFA 3-6) and in the western portion of the island (SFA 13 and 14A) while estimated abundance has strongly declined on the south coast (SFA 10-12) and the eastern portion of the island (SFA 7-9), reflecting important differences in status of salmon stocks in the Newfoundland region. The northeast and western portions of Newfoundland are contributing to increased proportions of the total returns to Newfoundland; in the early 1970s, the percentage of total returns from these areas ranged from 65% to 77% in contrast to 85% to 91% of the total since 2010. Changes in the recreational fisheries management measures in recent years have resulted in lower catches in this fishery and as a result increasing uncertainty in the Salmon Fishing Area specific estimates of abundance.

## 4.3.3 Estimates of spawning escapements

Updated estimates for small, large and 2SW salmon spawners (1971 to 2018) were derived for the six geographic regions (Tables 4.3.3.1 to 4.3.3.3). A comparison between the numbers of returns and spawners for small and large salmon is presented in Figures 4.3.2.2 and 4.3.2.3. A comparison between the numbers of 2SW returns, spawners, CLs, and management objectives (Scotia-Fundy and USA) is presented in Figure 4.3.2.4.

### Small salmon spawners

* The total estimate of small salmon spawners in 2018 for North America (558 700) was 32% higher than 2017, and the 2018 estimate ranks second (descending rank) out of the 48-year time-series.
* Estimates of small salmon spawners decreased in 2018 from the previous year in the southern regions (Québec, Gulf, Scotia-Fundy, USA) and increased in the northern regions of Newfoundland and Labrador.

* Small salmon spawners in 2018 were the fourth lowest on record for Gulf (18 200), and the second lowest on record for Scotia-Fundy (900).

* Small salmon spawners for Labrador (283 800) and Newfoundland (236 100) combined represented 93% of the total small salmon spawners estimated for North America in 2018.

### Large salmon spawners

* The total estimate of large salmon spawners in North America for 2018 (127 000) decreased by 24% from the revised value in 2017 (166 500).

* Estimates of large salmon spawners decreased in four (Labrador, Newfoundland, Québec, and USA) of the six geographical regions in 2018, but increased in 2018 for Gulf and Scotia-Fundy.

* Large salmon spawners in 2018 were the among the lowest of the time-series for Québec and Scotia-Fundy (42) as well as for USA (43), in the lower quarter for Gulf (31), approximately midway for Newfoundland (21) and seventh highest for Labrador.

* Large salmon spawners for Labrador (45 700), Québec (23 900), and Gulf (32 500) regions combined represented 80% of the total large salmon spawners in North America in 2018, with Newfoundland representing 18% of the total.

### 2SW salmon spawners

* The total estimate of 2SW salmon spawners in North America for 2018 (75 100) decreased by 24% from the revised estimate for 2017 (98 300), and was lower than the combined 2SW CL for NAC (152 548).

* Estimates of 2SW salmon spawners decreased (18% to 40%) from the previous year in four (Labrador, Newfoundland, Québec, and USA) of the six geographical regions in 2018, and increased in Gulf (18%) and Scotia-Fundy (28%).

* Estimates of 2SW salmon spawners in 2018 were the fifth (48-year time-series) lowest for Newfoundland, sixth lowest for USA, seventh lowest for Québec and Scotia-Fundy, eighteenth lowest for Gulf but seventh highest on record for Labrador.

* Estimates (median) of 2SW salmon spawners were below the region specific 2SW CLs in five of the six geographical regions in 2018, ranging from 3% in the USA to 125% in Gulf. It was the first time in six years that the 2SW spawners in Labrador were below the region-specific 2SW CL. The 2SW CLs were last exceeded in 2015 for Newfoundland and in 1982 for Québec. The 2SW CLs have never been exceeded for Scotia-Fundy and USA.

* The 2SW management objectives for Scotia-Fundy (10 976) and USA (4549) were not met in 2018 and have not been met since 1991 (Scotia-Fundy), and 1990 (USA). For USA, 2SW returns are assessed relative to the management objective as adult stocking programmes for restoration efforts contribute to the number of spawners.

### 4.3.4 Egg depositions in 2018

Egg depositions by all sea ages combined in 2018 exceeded or equalled the river-specific CLs in 38 of the 86 assessed rivers (44%) and were less than 50% of CLs in 28 rivers (33%) (Figure 4.3.4.1). Large deficiencies in egg depositions (≤10% CLs) were noted in 15 assessed rivers (17%).

CLs were exceeded in two of four (50%) assessed rivers in Labrador, nine of seventeen rivers (53%) in Newfoundland, 24 of 36 rivers (67%) in Québec, and three of six rivers (50%) in Gulf.
None of the seven assessed rivers in Scotia-Fundy met CLs and, with the exception of Middle River, all were below 50% of CLs. Large deficiencies in egg depositions were noted in the Southern Upland (SFA 21) and Outer Bay of Fundy (SFA 23) regions of Scotia-Fundy where assessed rivers were less than 4% of CLs.

Large deficiencies in egg depositions were noted in the USA. All eight rivers for which proportion of their CLs was assessed were below 7%. All anadromous Atlantic salmon fisheries in the USA are closed.

The time-series of attained CLs for assessed rivers is presented in Table 4.3.4.1 and Figure 4.3.4.2. The time-series includes all assessed small rivers on Prince Edward Island (SFA 17) individually and an additional eight partially assessed rivers in the USA.

In Canada, CLs were first established in 1991 for 74 rivers. Since then the number of rivers with defined CLs increased to 266 in 1997 and to 476 since 2014. The number of rivers assessed annually has ranged from 61 to 91 and the annual percentages of these rivers achieving CL has ranged from 26% to 67% (44% in 2018) with no temporal trend.

Conservation limits have been established for 33 river stocks in the USA since 1995. Sixteen of these are assessed against CL attainment annually with none meeting CLs to date. The proportion of the conservation requirement attained is only presented in Figure 4.3.4.1 for the six rivers with the most precise adult abundance estimates.

### 4.3.5 Marine survival (return rates)

In 2018, return rate estimates were available from ten wild and two hatchery populations from rivers distributed among Newfoundland, Québec, Scotia-Fundy, and USA (Tables 4.3.5.1 to 4.3.5.4). Return rates for wild small salmon declined for monitored rivers in Québec (1SW, $p<0.05$) over the time period, whereas there was no statistically significant trend for populations in Newfoundland and Scotia-Fundy (Figure 4.3.5.1). Although significant declines were not evident in the analysis for Scotia-Fundy, small salmon return rates have been below long-term means in recent years. Overall, regional return rates have improved since the low value of 2012. After a decline in wild 2SW return rates for Scotia-Fundy since the 2010 smolt year, return rates in 2018 (2016 smolt year) improved and are comparable to pre-2010 values (Figure 4.3.5.1). Québec showed a statistically significant decline for 2SW salmon ($p < 0.05$) and 2018 return rates were up slightly from the low 2012 value (Figure 4.3.5.1).

In 2018, the return rate of small salmon of hatchery origin to the Penobscot River (USA) was similar to 2017 and was equal to the mean of 1991 to present. The return rate of hatchery-origin small salmon to the Saint John River (Scotia-Fundy, SFA 23) decreased from 2017 by 54% (Table 4.3.5.3; Figure 4.3.5.2). Hatchery origin 2SW return rates in 2018 decreased from 2017 for the Saint John (Scotia-Fundy) and were the lowest recorded on that river (0.0%) (Table 4.3.5.4; Figure 4.3.5.2). On the Penobscot River, the hatchery origin 2SW return rate in 2018 decreased from 2017 by approximately 33% (Table 4.3.5.4; Figure 4.3.5.2).

Regional least squared (or marginal mean) mean annual return rates were calculated to balance for variation in the annual number of contributing experimental groups through application of a GLM (generalised linear model) with survival related to smolt year and river with a quasi-Poisson distribution (log-link function) (Figures 4.3.5.1 and 4.3.5.2). Analyses of time-series of regional return rates of wild smolts to small salmon and 2SW adults by area for the period of 1970 to 2018 (Tables 4.3.5.1 to 4.3.5.4; Figures 4.3.5.1 and 4.3.5.2) indicate the following:

* Return rates of wild smolts exceed those of hatchery released smolts;

* Small salmon return rates to rivers in Newfoundland vary annually and without trend over the period 1970 to 2018;
* Small salmon return rates for Newfoundland populations in 2018 were greater than those for other populations in eastern North America;

* Small salmon (1SW) return rates of wild smolts to Québec vary annually and have declined over the period 1983/1984 to 2017/2018;

* Small salmon and 2SW return rates of wild smolts to the Scotia-Fundy vary annually and without a statistically significant trend over the period mid-1990s to 2018. However, individual river trends for Scotia-Fundy may vary from the overall trend (e.g. declines in return rates to Southern Upland index rivers; DFO, 2013);

* In Scotia-Fundy and USA, hatchery smolt return rates to 2SW salmon have decreased over the period 1970 to 2018. 1SW return rates for Scotia-Fundy hatchery stocks have also declined for the period, while they have been stable for USA.

### 4.3.6 Pre-fisheries abundance (PFA)

#### 4.3.6.1 North American run-reconstruction model

The run-reconstruction model developed by Rago *et al.* (1993) and described in previous Working Group reports (ICES, 2008; 2009) and in the primary literature (Chaput *et al.*, 2005) was used to estimate returns and spawners by size (small salmon, large salmon) and sea age group (2SW salmon) to the six geographic regions of NAC. The input data were similar in structure to the data used previously by the Working Group (ICES, 2012; Stock Annex). Estimates of returns and spawners to regions were provided for the time-series to 2018. The full set of data inputs are included in the Stock Annex and the summary output tables of returns and spawners by sea age or size group are provided in Tables 4.3.2.1 to 4.3.2.3 and 4.3.3.1 to 4.3.3.2.

#### 4.3.6.2 Non-maturing 1SW salmon

The non-maturing component of 1SW salmon, destined to be 2SW returns (excluding 3SW and previous spawners) is represented by the PFA estimate for year i designated as PFANAC1SW. This annual PFA is the estimated number of salmon in the North Atlantic on 1 August of the second summer at sea. As the PFA estimates for potential 2SW salmon requires estimates of returns to rivers, the most recent year for which an estimate of PFA is available is 2017. This is because PFA estimates for 2018 require 2SW returns to rivers in North America in 2019.

The PFA estimates accounting for returns to rivers, fisheries at sea in North America, fisheries at West Greenland, and corrected for natural mortality are shown in Figure 4.3.6.1 and Table 4.3.6.1. The median of the estimates of non-maturing 1SW salmon in 2017 was 121 300 salmon (90% C.I. range 98 600 to 146 200). This value is 23% lower than the previous revised value for 2016 (156 900) and 20% lower than the previous five year mean (152 100). The estimated non-maturing 1SW salmon in 2017 ranks 34 (descending rank) of the 47 year time-series.

#### 4.3.6.3 Maturing 1SW salmon

Maturing 1SW salmon are in some areas (particularly Newfoundland) a major component of salmon stocks, and their abundance when combined with that of the 2SW age group provides an index of the majority of an entire smolt cohort.

The reconstructed distribution of the PFA of the 1SW maturing cohort of North American origin is shown in Figure 4.3.6.1 and Table 4.3.6.1. The estimated PFA of the maturing component in 2018 was 608 200 fish, 29% above the previous year revised value and 12% above the previous
five year mean (543 400). Maximum abundance of the maturing cohort was estimated at over 910 000 fish in 1981 and the recent estimate ranks 15 (descending rank) of the 48-year time-series.

#### 4.3.6.4 Total 1SW recruits (maturing and non-maturing)

The pre-fishery abundance of 1SW maturing salmon and 1SW non-maturing salmon from North America from 1971–2017 (2018 PFA requires 2SW returns in 2019) were summed to give total recruits of 1SW salmon (Figure 4.3.6.1; Table 4.3.6.1). The PFA of the 1SW cohort, estimated for 2017, was 592 700 fish, 7% lower than the revised 2016 PFA estimate (639 000), and 10% lower than the previous five year mean (656 300). The 2017 PFA estimate ranks 35 (descending rank) of the 47-year time-series. The abundance of the 1SW cohort has declined by 66% over the time-series from a peak of 1 705 000 fish in 1975.

#### 4.3.7 Summary on status of stocks

Warm-water and low water conditions in several regions in eastern Canada resulted in a number of recreational fisheries closures and these conditions may also have impacted the end of season spawner estimates in some areas. Recreational fishery closures in Newfoundland in 2017 and 2018 due to these environmental conditions were the most important since 1987.

In 2018, the median estimates of returns to rivers and of spawners were below the CLs for 2SW salmon for five of the six assessment regions of NAC, and are therefore suffering reduced reproductive capacity (Figure 4.3.2.4, Figure 4.3.7.1). For Gulf Region, the 5th percentile is below the CL and the stock is at risk of suffering reduced reproductive capacity. The percentages (based on medians) of CLs attained from 2SW spawners in 2018 ranged from a low of 3% in USA to 125% in Gulf region. For 2SW salmon returns to rivers prior to in-river exploitation, the percentages of CL attained were minimally higher, ranging from 2% to 127%, respectively.

The returns of 2SW salmon to the two southern areas (Scotia-Fundy and USA) were 13% and 12%, respectively, of the management objectives for these areas. For USA, 2SW returns are assessed relative to the management objective as adult stocking programmes for restoration efforts contribute to the number of spawners.

The rank of the estimated returns in the 1971 to 2018 time-series and the proportions of the 2SW CLs achieved in 2018 for six assessment regions in North America are shown below:

<table><thead><tr><th rowspan="2">Region</th><th colspan="2">Rank of 2018 returns in 1971 to 2018, (48=LOW-EST)</th><th colspan="2">Rank of 2018 returns in 2009 to 2018 (10=LOW-EST)</th><th rowspan="2">Median estimate of 2018 2SW spawners as percentage of Conservation Limit (% of management objective)</th></tr><tr><th>1SW</th><th>2SW</th><th>1SW</th><th>2SW</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Labrador</td><td>1</td><td>7</td><td>1</td><td>7</td><td>85</td></tr><tr><td>Newfoundland</td><td>6</td><td>44</td><td>4</td><td>9</td><td>57</td></tr><tr><td>Québec</td><td>34</td><td>46</td><td>7</td><td>9</td><td>54</td></tr><tr><td>Gulf</td><td>46</td><td>36</td><td>8</td><td>6</td><td>125</td></tr><tr><td>Scotia-Fundy</td><td>47</td><td>42</td><td>9</td><td>6</td><td>6 (13)</td></tr><tr><td>USA</td><td>24</td><td>43</td><td>4</td><td>7</td><td>3 (19)</td></tr></tbody></table>
Estimates of PFA indicate continued low abundance of North American adult salmon. The total population of 1SW and 2SW Atlantic salmon in the Northwest Atlantic has shown an overall declining trend since the 1970s with a period of persistent low abundance since the early 1990s. During 1993 to 2017, the total population of 1SW and 2SW Atlantic salmon was about 610 000 fish, about half of the mean abundance during 1971 to 1992. The estimated maturing 1SW salmon abundance in 2018 was 29% above the estimate for 2017 and was the 15th lowest estimate on record. Overall, 92% of 1SW salmon returns to NAC in 2018 (Figure 4.3.6.1) were from two regions (Labrador and Newfoundland). The non-maturing 1SW PFA for 2017 decreased by 23% from 2016, and ranked 34 (descending rank) of the 47-year time-series. Overall, 95% of 2SW salmon returns to NAC were from three regions in 2018 (Labrador, Québec and Gulf).

The estimates of 1SW salmon returns in 2018 decreased from 2017 in the four southern regions (range 3% to 66%) and increased by 8% and 75% in Newfoundland and Labrador, respectively. 1SW salmon returns remained among the lowest on record for Scotia-Fundy (second lowest on record) and Gulf (third lowest on record). In Labrador, the estimated 1SW salmon returns were estimated to have been the highest of record. Returns to rivers (after commercial fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador) of 1SW salmon have generally increased over the time-series for the NAC, mainly as a result of the commercial fishery closures in 1992 and subsequently in 1998. Increased returns in recent years were estimated for Labrador and Newfoundland, which have contributed to this increasing trend for NAC. Important variations in annual abundances continue to be observed, such as the low returns of 2009 and 2013 and the high returns of 2011 and 2015 (Figure 4.3.2.2).

The abundances of large salmon (multi-sea-winter salmon including maiden and repeat spawners) returns in 2018 decreased from 2017 in four regions (Labrador, Newfoundland, Québec, and USA; range 18% to 40%), whereas, the returns of large salmon increased in the other two regions (Gulf and Scotia-Fundy by 16% and 29%, respectively). 2SW salmon returns in 2018 also decreased from 2017 in the same four regions as the large salmon (range 18% to 40%), and increased in the same two regions as large salmon returns (increased by 17% for Gulf and 27% for Scotia-Fundy). With the exception of Labrador, the returns of 2SW salmon ranked 36 to 46 of the 48-year time-series.

Wild smolt-to-adult return rates to monitored rivers in eastern North America remain low, with 2017 smolt to 1SW salmon returns ranging from 0.8% for multi-sea-winter salmon stocks to 9.3% for 1SW salmon stocks and return rates of smolts in 2016 to 2SW salmon ranging from 0.2% to 2.2% for multi-sea-winter salmon stocks. A number of monitoring programs in 2018 were unable to estimate smolt production due to exceptional spring discharge conditions, which weakens the critical metrics of adult return rates for the few monitored populations.

Egg depositions by all sea ages combined in 2018 exceeded or equalled the river-specific CLs in 38 of the 86 assessed rivers (44%) and were less than 50% of CLs in 28 rivers (33%) (Figure 4.3.4.1). Large deficiencies in egg depositions (≤10% CLs) were noted in multiple rivers in the Scotia-Fundy and USA areas.

Despite major changes in fisheries, returns to the southern regions of NAC (Scotia-Fundy and USA) remain near historical lows and many populations are currently at risk of extirpation. All salmon stocks within the USA and the Scotia-Fundy regions have been or are being considered for listing under country specific species at risk legislation. Recovery Potential Assessments for the three Designatable Units of salmon in Scotia-Fundy as well as for one Designatable Unit in Québec and one in Newfoundland occurred in 2012 and 2013 to inform the requirements under the Species at Risk Act listing process in Canada (ICES, 2014).

Regional return estimates in 2018 are reflected in the overall 2018 return estimates for NAC, as Labrador and Newfoundland collectively comprise 92% of the small salmon returns, whereas
Labrador, Québec, and Gulf collectively comprise 81% of the large salmon returns and 95% of the 2SW salmon returns to NAC.

Overall, the estimated PFA of 1SW non-maturing salmon ranked 34 (descending rank) of the 47-year time-series and the estimated PFA of 1SW maturing salmon ranked 33 (descending rank) of the 48-year time-series. The continued low abundance of salmon stocks across North America, despite significant fishery reductions, strengthens the conclusions that factors acting on survival in the first and second years at sea, at both local and broad ocean scales are constraining abundance of Atlantic salmon. Declines in smolt production in some rivers of eastern Canada may also be contributing to lower adult abundance.

Variations in numbers from previous assessments are due to updates to data inputs and to stochastic variation from Monte Carlo simulation.

NF-Lab Comm / Food 1SW (Year i-1) = Catch of 1SW non-maturing * 0.677057 (M of 0.03 per month for 13 months to July for Canadian terminal fisheries).

NF-Lab Comm / Food 2SW (Year i) = catch of 2SW salmon * 0.970446 (M of 0.03 per month for 1 month to July of Canadian terminal fisheries).

Canada: Losses from all sources = 2SW returns - 2SW spawners (includes losses from harvests from catch and release mortality and other in-river losses such as bycatch mortality but excludes the fisheries at St-Pierre and Miquelon and NF-Lab Comm / Food fisheries).

a - starting in 1998 there was no commercial fishery in Labrador; numbers reflect harvests of the Indigenous and residential subsistence fisheries.

Greenland total catch = estimated catch of 1SW non-maturing salmon of North American origin at Greenland discounted for 11 months of mortality at sea as returning 2SW salmon to eastern North America (* 0.719; M of 0.03 per month for 11 months).
