# 5 Atlantic salmon in the West Greenland Commission

## 5.1 NASCO has requested ICES to describe the key events of the 2020 fishery

The Atlantic salmon fishery is regulated according to the Government of Greenland's Executive Order no. 32 of 28 August 2020. Only hooks and fixed gillnets are allowed to target salmon directly and the minimum mesh size has been 140 mm (stretched mesh) since 1985. In recent decades the fishing season has gradually been reduced from August 1 to August 15 (2015) to September 1 (2019) with a closing date of 31 October or until the total quota was reached.

Commercial fishers are allowed to fish single gillnets fixed to the shore, with no limit on the number of gillnets that can be fished. Driftnetting has not been allowed since 2020. Private licensed fishers can only use one gillnet fixed to the shore. All nets must be tended regularly and marked with name and contact information. Fishing beyond 40 nautical miles from the shoreline is forbidden. Gillnets are the preferred gear in Greenland, but rod and reel catches and bycatch in pound nets are also noted in small amounts within the catch reports.

The procedures for reporting salmon harvested in Greenland have previously been reported on (ICES, 2014; ICES, 2016) and modifications to these procedures were made by the Government of Greenland in 2018. In summary, all fishers are required to have a licence to fish for Atlantic salmon and all licence holders are required to report catches. Requested data include fishing date, location, and information on catch and effort required for the calculation of catch per unit of effort statistics. Reports are to be made on a daily basis and can be made to Greenland Fisheries License Control Authority (GFLK) by email, phone, fax, return logbook or via an online reporting system (www.sullissivik.gl). Factory landings, when allowed, are submitted to GFLK either on a daily or weekly basis, depending on the likelihood of exceeding a quota. No factory landings have been allowed since 2015.

In 2018, the Government of Greenland set a total quota for all components of the 2018–2020 fisheries to 30 t annually as agreed by all parties of the West Greenland Commission of NASCO (NASCO, 2018; see WGC(18)11). Within the regulatory measure, the Government of Greenland agreed to continue its ban on the export of wild Atlantic salmon or its products from Greenland and to prohibit landings and sales to fish processing factories. The Government of Greenland also agreed to restrict the fishery from 15 August to no later than 31 October each year, and any overharvest in a particular year would result in an equal reduction in the total allowable catch the following year. The regulatory measure also set out a number of provisions aimed at improving the monitoring, management control and surveillance of the fishery including a new requirement for all fishers (private and commercial) to obtain a licence to fish for Atlantic salmon, an agreement to collect catch and fishing activity data from all licensed fishers and mandatory reporting requirements of all fishers. The measure also stated that as a condition of the licence, all fishers will be required to allow samplers from the NASCO sampling programme to take samples of their catches upon request. The measure was applied to the 2018–2020 fisheries as the FWI indicated no significant change in the previously provided catch advice prior to the 2019 and 2020 fisheries. Given the 2019 fishery overharvest, the 2020 fishery quota was set to 20.7 t.

The 2020 fishery opened on September 1st. On September 17th, more than 15 t of landings had been registered and given landings projections the Government of Greenland announced the fishing season would end on September 20th. However, an approximate one week delay from landings to registration of landings resulted in the quota being exceeded by 11 t. The final reported harvest for the 2020 fishery was 31.7 t (including harvest in East Greenland).
## 5.1.1 Catch and effort in 2020

Catch data were collated from fisher reports. The reports were screened for errors and missing values by Greenlandic authorities. Catches were assigned to a NAFO/ICES Division based on the reporting community. If any reports only contained the total number of salmon caught or the total catch weight without the number of salmon, they were corrected using 3.25 kg gutted weight per salmon. Since 2005, it has been mandatory to report gutted weights, and these have been converted to whole weight using a conversion multiplier of 1.11.

In 2020, a total catch of 31.7 t was reported (Table 5.1.1.1). Reported landings were distributed among the six NAFO Divisions (30.9 t) on the west coast of Greenland and in ICES Division XIV (0.8 t) on the east coast of Greenland (Table 5.1.1.2; Figure 5.1.1.1). As in previous years, the majority of the catch in 2020 was reported by commercial fishers for commercial purposes (Tables 5.1.1.3 and 5.1.1.4; Figure 5.1.1.2). The 2020 reported landings are a slight increase from the 2019 value (29.8 t) with the majority being reported from West Greenland as in previous years. Harvest reported for East Greenland is not included in assessments of the contributing stock complexes, owing to a lack of information on the stock composition of that fishery. Reported landings of Atlantic salmon increased from 60 t in 1960 to a peak of 2689 t in 1971 and generally decreased until the closure of the export commercial fishery in 1998. Reported landings for the internal use only fishery peaked at 57.8 t in 2014 and have averaged 37.9 t over the past ten years (2011–2020; Table 5.1.1.2; Figure 5.1.1.2).

There is currently no quantitative approach for estimating the unreported catch for the fishery, but the 2020 value is assumed to have been at the same level as reported by the Greenlandic authorities historically (10 t). The 10 t estimate was historically meant to account for private fishers in smaller communities fishing for private use, but not reporting landings. This estimate was not meant to represent non-reporting by commercial fishers.

Detailed statistics on the registration of commercial landings for commercial and private use (Figure 5.1.1.2) are available from 1997 to the present. The mean percentage of commercial landings registered for private use from 1997–2017 was 41% (excluding 2000 and 2001) and 0.2% from 2018–2020. The Working Group was previously informed that the drop may be caused by dynamics associated with the reporting structure of commercial landings rather than underreporting of landings for private use by commercial fishers.

Greenland Authorities issued 757 licences (339 for commercial fishers and 418 for private fishers) and received 1321 reports from 618 fishers across all areas in 2020 (Tables 5.1.1.5 and 5.1.1.6; Figure 5.1.1.3). There was an increase of 37 commercial fishers and an increase of three private fishers receiving licences compared to 2019. The number of licences issued, the number of fishers
who reported, and the number of reports received have increased greatly starting in 2018, as a result of the new regulations requiring all fishers to receive a licence and mandatory reporting requirements. These levels are among the highest in the time-series.

The Working Group notes the significant increase in catch reporting since 2018 (Table 5.1.1.6; Figure 5.1.1.3). Reporting by commercial fishers increased from an average of 30% from 2009–2017 to an average of 82% from 2018–2020. For private fishers, the number of fishers reporting increased from an average of 53 from 2009–2017 to 341 from 2018–2020 with an average reporting percentage (80%), equivalent to the commercial fishers during this same period. In spite of the large increase in the number of private fishers reporting, reporting landings for this segment only increased 3.08 t on average. The Working Group concludes that these types of analyses are important for refining the estimate of unreported catch used in the assessment models.

The seasonal distribution of catches has previously been reported to the Working Group (ICES, 2002), but since 2002 this has only occurred for the 2016 and 2017 fisheries (ICES, 2017; ICES 2018). Reported landings for the 2016 and 2017 fisheries did seem to reflect general spatial/temporal patterns of the fishery (early reported landings in the southern regions (1D-1F), later reported landings in the northern regions (1A-1C), low landings in the northernmost regions (1A-1B)). Data available from 2020 verify this pattern and shows relatively stable landings (daily mean of 1.5 t) across the 20-day fishing season (Figure 5.1.1.4). A small amount of salmon (1.2 t; 3.6%) were caught after the fishing season, approximately half of which occurred within two days of the closure.

The Working Group has previously requested that detailed data beyond reported landings and licence related information by community and NAFO Divisions be made available to further characterize and assess the fishery beyond what has previously been presented. The Working Group has been informed that this level of detail was often lacking from commercial and private landing reports, but with the increased reporting requirements starting in 2018 is now becoming more available. Preliminary analysis of catch per unit (CPUE) showed that CPUE generally decreased from the south to the north. Estimates of CPUE for the 2020 fishing season ranged from approximately 15-20 kg of salmon per net in the south (NAFO Division 1E and 1F) to 3-6 kg of salmon per net in the north (NAFO Divisions 1A and 1B). Spatially and temporally explicit catch and effort data from all fishers could be used to develop a time-series of CPUE as a potential index of abundance of Atlantic salmon at Greenland.

## 5.1.2 Landings adjustments

The Working Group has employed two different approaches to estimate unreported catch from commercial fishers: comparisons of the sampling programme statistics and reported landings, and utilizing results from the previously implemented phone surveys. Comparing the weight of
salmon seen by the sampling teams and the corresponding community-specific reported land-
ings for the entire fishing season has occurred annually since 2002. Phone surveys were con-
ducted for a three-year period starting in 2015. When discrepancies are noted through either
method, adjusted landings are added to the reported landings to provide landings for assess-
ment. A summary of the reported landings, adjusted landings (sampling), adjusted landings
(survey) and landings for assessment is presented in Table 5.1.2.1. Landings for assessment do
not replace the official reported statistics (Tables 5.1.1.1 and 5.1.1.2).

Starting in 2002, non-reporting of harvest was evident based on a comparison of reported land-
ings and sample data. In at least one of the NAFO divisions where international samplers were
present, the sampling team observed more fish than were reported as being landed for the whole
season. The time-series of reported landings and subsequent adjusted landings (sampling) for
2002–2020 are presented in Table 5.1.2.2. In most years, discrepancies were identified, although
sometimes minor in magnitude. It should be noted that samplers are only stationed within se-
lected communities for 2–6 weeks in total per year whereas the fishing season runs for 10–12
weeks. It is not possible to correct for non-reporting for an entire fishing season or area given the
discrepancy in sampling coverage vs. fishing season without more accurate daily/weekly catch
statistics. An evaluation of non-reporting of harvest was not possible in 2020 due to international
samplers not being in Greenland given travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pan-
demic (see Section 5.2).

Phone surveys were conducted January-February in 2015, 2016, and 2017 to assess the 2014, 2015, and 2016 fisheries, respectively. The number of fishers contacted, the questions asked, and the method to estimate unreported catch differed from year to year. Based on the results from these surveys, adjusted landings (survey) have been estimated. A phone survey was initiated in 2018 to assess the 2017 fishery, but only nine fishers were contacted. Given the small number of fishers contacted, no landings adjustments were estimated. Phone surveys have not been conducted since.

5.1.3 Exploitation

An extant exploitation rate for NAC and Southern NEAC non-maturing 1SW fish at West Green-
land can be calculated by dividing the estimated continent of origin reported harvest of 1SW
salmon at West Greenland by the PFA estimate for the corresponding year for each stock com-
plex. Exploitation rates are available for the 1971 to 2019 PFA years (Figure 5.1.3.1). The most
recent estimate of exploitation available is for the 2019 fishery as the 2020 exploitation rate esti-
mates are dependent on the 2020 PFA estimates, which depend on 2021 2SW returns. NAC PFA
estimates (Table 4.3.6.1) are provided for August of the PFA year and Southern NEAC PFA esti-
mates (Table 3.3.4.4) are provided for January of the PFA year, the latter adjusted by seven
months (1 January to 1 August) of natural mortality at 0.03 per month. The 2019 NAC exploita-
tion rate was 6.0%, which was a decrease from the 2018 estimate (12.2%) and lower than the
previous five-year mean (8.1%, 2014–2018). It remains among the lowest in the time-series, but
within the range of exploitation estimates calculated since the early 2000s. NAC exploitation rate
peaked in 1971 at approximately 39.1%. The 2019 Southern NEAC exploitation rate of 0.7% is
approximate to the 2018 estimate (0.7%) and the previous five-year mean (0.8%, 2014–2018). The
2019 estimate remains one of the lowest in the time-series. Southern NEAC exploitation rate at
Greenland peaked in 1975 at 32%. It should be noted that annual estimates of exploitation vary
slightly from year to year, as they are dependent on the output from the run-reconstruction
models, which vary slightly from assessment to assessment (see Sections 4.3.6 and 3.3.1).
## 5.2 International sampling programme

A 'Statement of Co-operation on the West Greenland Fishery Sampling Programme for 2020' was agreed to by the Parties of the West Greenland Commission (WGC) of NASCO in June 2020. This outlined the arrangements for the international sampling programme to be undertaken, which would have involved international samplers traveling to Greenland to sample harvested Atlantic salmon as has occurred in the recent past. Given uncertainty of potential travel restrictions and safety concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, a Contingency Sampling Plan Working Group was formed by the WGC to develop a "Plan B" in case international samplers were unable to travel to Greenland. The Working Group developed a Contingency Sampling Plan and on July 15 it was decided that the Contingency Sampling Plan would be implemented given the continued travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Contingency Sampling Programme consisted of providing individual sampling kits to groups of potential samplers based in Greenland. Three groups of potential samplers were identified: Greenland Fisheries License Control Authority Wildlife Officers, Greenland Institute of Nature Resources (GINR) staff and individual fishers as part of a Citizen Science initiative.

Each sampling kit contained an instruction placard in Greenlandic and Danish, pre-labelled genetic vials pre-filled with RNALater for tissue preservation, pre-labelled scale envelopes for scale storage, a plastic tape measure to collect fork length, a pair of scissors for fin clip collection, a knife for scale collection and a pencil. Sample kits provided to the Wildlife Officers and GINR staff also contained a hanging scale to collect gutted or whole weight data.

The sampling kits were customized for each group:

### Wildlife Officers

* Two sampling kits were provided.

* Each kit had enough supplies to collect 200 samples for a total of 400 samples.

* Kits were intended for Wildlife Officers working in the Sisimiut and Nuuk regions (Figure 5.1.1.1).

### GINR staff

* Two sampling kits were provided.

* Each kit had enough supplies to collect 200 samples for a total of 400 samples.

* One kit was intended for sampling at the Nuuk market in coordination with market staff and one kit was available for GINR staff if they travelled to other communities and were able to take salmon samples.

### Citizen Science

* 216 sampling kits were provided.

* Each kit had enough supplies to collect either five (540 samples) or 10 (1080 samples) for a total of 1620 samples.

* The kits were provided to the Municipal Offices in the following communities: Sisimiut (31 kits), Maniitsoq (54 kits), Nuuk (83 kits), Qaqortoq (36 kits) and Tasiilaq (12 kits). This amounted to enough kits to accommodate approximately half of the licences administered in 2019 for each community. The expectation was that each Municipal Office Administrator would describe the programme and offered each individual fisher the opportunity to voluntarily collect samples when they were picking up their fishing licence.

Supplies were provided to accommodate a maximum of 2420 samples. Prior to the fishing season, the Citizen Science effort was promoted by NASCO and the Government of Greenland via tweets, press releases, Facebook posts, etc. After the fishing season, all kits were to be returned
to each Municipal Office or directly to the GINR and then onto the United States for data entry, auditing and sample distribution for processing.

Samples were collected from all three aspects of the Contingency Sampling Programme and from three NAFO divisions. The total number of salmon sampled was 114, of which 111 lengths, 75 scale samples and 113 tissue samples were collected (Table 5.2.1).

<table><thead><tr><th colspan="5">Contingency Sampling Programme results</th></tr><tr><th>NAFO Division</th><th>Wildlife Officers</th><th>GINR</th><th>Citizen Science</th><th>Total</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1D</td><td>9</td><td>57</td><td>18</td><td>84</td></tr><tr><td>1E</td><td>6</td><td>-</td><td>10</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>1F</td><td>11</td><td>-</td><td>3</td><td>14</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>26</td><td>57</td><td>31</td><td>114</td></tr></tbody></table>

The low number of samples can be attributed to a number of different factors. A primary factor was that the fishing season was only 20 days, which reduced the amount of time that Wildlife Officers or GINR staff had to collect samples. Additionally, the Municipal Offices remained closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fishing licences were delivered via email. As such, there was very little opportunity for individual fishers to learn about the Citizen Science initiative or be offered the opportunity to participate. There were other minor issues that can be mitigated for if a similar type sampling programme is undertaken in the future.

The samples were not received in time to allow for processing and therefore the results from the 114 samples were not available to the Working Group for consideration. The expectation is that the samples will be processed in 2021 and made available in the Working Group in 2022. Therefore, no information on the biological characteristics or continent or region of origin for the 2020 harvest. No internal or external tags were reported from the 2020 harvest either.

To mitigate for the lack of biological characteristics data and continent of origin estimates for the 2020 fishery, five-year mean values were used in the NAC and NEAC pre-fishery abundance run-reconstruction and forecast models (Sections 4.3, 4.4, 3.3 and 3.4). Five-year mean estimates were generated for individual fish whole weight (3.19 kg) to estimate the number of fish harvested, the proportion of 1SW fish (0.953 for NAC and 0.964 for NEAC) to allocate harvest to sea age, and the five-year average number of genetic samples by continent of origin divided by 15 to better represent the annual variation in the proportion NAC and NEAC.

## 5.2.1 Biological characteristics of the catches

No biological characteristic data are available for the 2020 fishery. Mean length and whole weight of North American and European salmon by sea age for 1969–2019 are reported in Table 5.2.1.1. The mean length and weight data reported have not been adjusted for the period of sampling and it is known that salmon grow quickly during this period of feeding while subjected to the fishery at West Greenland. Preliminary analyses to adjust for period of sampling have been previously reported (ICES, 2011; ICES, 2015) and therefore caution is urged when interpreting the uncorrected data. The distribution of river ages for North American and European origin salmon for the 1968–2019 fisheries are presented in Tables 5.2.1.2 and 5.2.1.3. The distribution of sea ages for North American and European origin salmon for the 1985–2019 fisheries are presented in Table 5.2.1.4.
## 5.2.2 Continent and region of origin of catches at West Greenland

No continent or region of origin data are available for the 2020 fishery. The time-series of estimated percent continent of origin and number of fish harvested by continent are presented in Table 5.2.2.1, and Figures 5.2.2.3 and 5.2.2.4. The number of North American and European Atlantic salmon harvested in 2020 was estimated using five-year averages of mean weight and the proportion of 1SW and continent of origin for NAC and NEAC as noted in Section 5.2. However, the estimated number of North American and European origin salmon harvested in 2020 (Figure 5.2.2.4) has not been weighted by the catch as in previous years (ICES 2020).

# 5.3 NASCO has requested ICES to describe the status of the stocks

The stocks contributing to the Greenland fishery are the NAC 2SW and Southern NEAC MSW complexes. The midpoints of the spawner abundance estimates for five of the seven stock complexes exploited at West Greenland were below CLs in 2020 (Figure 5.3.1). A more detailed overview of status of stocks in the NEAC and NAC areas is presented in the relevant Commission sections (Sections 3 and 4).

## 5.3.1 North American stock complex

The total estimate of 2SW salmon spawners in North America for 2020 increased by 50% from the 2019 revised estimate, and is the 15th highest on record (1971–2020; 50 years). The midpoints of the spawner abundance estimates were below the CLs for 5 of the 6 regions of NAC (Figure 4.3.2.4). The proportion of the 2SW CL attained from 2SW spawners was 85% for Labrador, 70% for Newfoundland, 78% for Québec, 161% for the Gulf region, and 4% and 5% (10% and 32% of the management objectives) for Scotia-Fundy and USA, respectively. The Gulf region is classified as at full reproductive capacity and the remaining regions are all suffering reduced reproductive capacity. Within each of the geographic areas, there are individual river stocks which are failing to meet CLs (Table 4.3.4.1; Figure 4.3.4.2). In the southern areas of NAC (Scotia-Fundy and USA) there are numerous populations at high risk of extinction and these are under consideration or receiving special protections under federal legislation. The estimated exploitation rate of salmon in North American fisheries has declined (Figure 4.1.6.1) from a peak of approximately 80% in 1971 for 2SW salmon to a mean of 10% over the past ten years.

## 5.3.2 MSW Southern European stock complex

The lower bound of the 90% confidence limit of the spawner abundance estimate for the Southern NEAC MSW stock complex was above the CL and is therefore at full reproductive capacity (Figure 3.3.4.2). Individual countries stock status within the NEAC MSW stock complex varied across all three stock status designations (Figures 3.3.4.5 and 3.3.4.7). Note that rivers in the south and west of Iceland are included in the assessment of the Southern NEAC stock complex. Within individual jurisdictions, there are large numbers of rivers not meeting CLs after homewater fisheries (Table 3.3.5.2; Figure 3.3.5.1). Homewater exploitation rates on the MSW Southern NEAC stock complex are shown in Figure 3.1.9.1. Exploitation on MSW fish in Southern NEAC was 3% in 2020, which was lower than the previous five year (7%) and ten year (9%) means.
## 5.4 NASCO has requested ICES to provide catch options or alternative management advice for 2021–2023 with an assessment of risk relative to the objective of exceeding stock conservation limits, or predefined NASCO Management Objectives, and advise on the implications of these options for stock rebuilding

The management advice for the West Greenland fishery for 2021 to 2023 is based on the models used by the Working Group since 2003 and most recently revised in ICES (2018). The Working Group followed the process developed in previous years for providing management advice and catch options for West Greenland using the PFA and CLs or alternate management objectives of the NAC and NEAC areas (Table 5.4.1). The risks of the Greenland fishery to NAC and NEAC stock complexes are developed in parallel and combined into a single catch options table (Table 5.4.2).

### 5.4.1 Catch options for West Greenland

None of the stated management objectives would allow a mixed-stock fishery at West Greenland to take place in 2021, 2022, or 2023.

* In the absence of any marine fishing mortality at Greenland and North America, the lowest probabilities that the returns of 2SW salmon to North America will be sufficient to meet the conservation requirements of any one of the four northern regions (Labrador, Newfoundland, Québec, and Gulf) were estimated to be 0.51, 0.44, and 0.30, all for the Newfoundland region for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively (Table 5.4.2).

* In the absence of any marine fishing mortality at Greenland and North America, there is a low probability (from 0.01 to 0.03) that the returns in the southern region of Scotia-Fundy will be sufficient to meet the stock rebuilding objective during the period 2021 to 2023 (Table 5.4.2). The probability of meeting or exceeding the stock rebuilding objective of the USA region is estimated at 0.11 to 0.23 over the three years.

* In the absence of any marine fishing mortality at Greenland and in NEAC, the probabilities of meeting or exceeding the SER for the Southern NEAC MSW complex is 0.93, 0.83, and 0.75 in 2021 to 2023, respectively (Table 5.4.2).

* In the absence of any fishing mortality on these stocks, there is a near zero probability (0.004 to 0.006) of meeting or exceeding the seven management objectives simultaneously in 2021 to 2023 (Table 5.4.2).

## 5.5 Relevant factors to be considered in management

The management of all fisheries should be based upon assessments of the status of individual stocks. Fisheries on mixed-stocks, particularly in coastal waters or on the high seas, pose particular difficulties for management as they target all stocks present, whether or not they are meeting their individual CLs. Conservation would be best achieved if fisheries target stocks that have been shown to be meeting CLs. Fisheries in estuaries and especially rivers are more likely to meet this requirement.

The salmon caught in the West Greenland fishery are mostly (>90%) non-maturing 1SW salmon, most of which are destined to return to homewaters in Europe or North America as 2SW fish. The primary European stocks contributing to the fishery in West Greenland are thought to
originate in the southern MSW stock complex, although small numbers may also originate in northern Europe. Most MSW stocks in North America are thought to contribute to the fishery at West Greenland. Previous spawners, including salmon that spawned first as 1SW and 2SW salmon also contribute to the fishery, but in generally low (<5%) proportions (Table 5.2.1.4).

## 5.6 Pre-fishery abundance forecasts 2021, 2022, 2023

PFA forecasts for each area (NAC Section 4.4 and NEAC Section 3.4) were developed using a Bayesian framework. A random walk productivity parameter linking lagged spawners or lagged eggs to PFA was developed and applied in the most recent assessments (2018 for NAC and for NEAC; ICES, 2018). The PFA forecasts for the West Greenland stock complex although improved from the lowest value estimated in 2001 remain well below the values prior to 1992 (Figures 4.4.3.1.4 and 3.4.2.1).

### 5.6.1 North American stock complex

The PFANA forecasts for 2021 to 2023 fluctuate at median values of 208 150 (for 2023) to 217 000 fish (for 2022), and remain at low values relative to the earliest decade of the time-series (Table 4.4.3.1; Figure 4.4.3.1.4). The regional PFA forecasts indicate an increase during 2021 to 2023 for Labrador, Gulf, Scotia-Fundy and USA and an expected decrease or no change for Newfoundland and Québec (Figure 4.4.3.1.5).

### 5.6.2 Southern NEAC MSW stock complex

The Southern NEAC 1SW non-maturing (MSW) PFA forecasts for 2021 to 2023 fluctuate at median values between 422 285 and 565 442 fish, which are low relative to the earliest decade of the time-series (Figure 3.4.2.1). The median PFA for the Southern NEAC MSW complex is forecast to remain above the SER in 2021 to 2023 (Figure 3.4.2.1). The Southern NEAC SERs are substantially lower than last year's figures due to the implementation of new river-specific CLs for UK (Scotland), which accounts for approximately 50% of the Southern NEAC PFA (Section 3.3.4).

## 5.7 Comparison with previous assessment and advice

A detailed comparison with the previous assessment and advice is provided in Section 4.4.4. Updated and revised values of returns and spawners were obtained from run reconstruction for both NAC and NEAC time-series. For the 2020 assessment year, previous five-year mean values were used in a few regions of NAC because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on field programmes. Similarly, previous five year mean values were used for the 2020 biological characteristics of salmon in the fishery at West Greenland, due to restrictions on travel of the sampling teams associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 (see Sections 2.3.1 and 5.2).

The 2SW CLs for Gulf and Québec were revised in 2019, with a slight increase for Québec (from 29 446 to 32 085 2SW fish) and a substantial decrease for Gulf (from 30 430 to 18 737 2SW fish). The Southern NEAC MSW CLs decreased as a result of the revision of CLs for UK (Scotland).

In 2018, the ICES Working Group provided forecasts of the regional productivity parameters and the regional specific PFAs based on the regional lagged spawners. The productivity parameter used for the 2018 to 2020 PFA years was negative for three regions (Gulf, Scotia-Fundy, USA), positive and at low values for Québec and Newfoundland, and high for Labrador (ICES 2018; Figure 4.4.4.1). Based on 2021 assessment, the realized productivity for the 2017 to 2019 PFA years was estimated to have been higher than predicted in most regions, except Labrador
(Figure 4.4.4.1). The estimated regional PFA values were lower in Labrador for the 2017 to 2019 PFA years and slightly higher in all the other regions however the larger overestimate for Labrador relative to the other regions resulted in lower PFA values for NAC overall. Due to the large uncertainty associated with the forecast values, the estimated PFA values for 2017 to 2019 were within the 95% confidence intervals of the forecast values.

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 and this year's assessment confirms that advice.

## 5.8 Critical examination of changes to the models used to provide catch options

### 5.8.1 Run-reconstruction models

The run-reconstruction models to estimate pre-fishery abundance of 1SW non-maturing and maturing 2SW fish adjusted by natural mortality to the time prior to the West Greenland fishery follow the same structure as used since 2003 (ICES, 2003; 2004; 2005; 2006; 2012; 2015; 2018). Additional details are provided in Sections 4.3.6 and 3.3.1.

### 5.8.2 Forecast models for pre-fishery abundance of 2SW salmon

The forecast models used to estimate pre-fishery abundance of non-maturing 1SW salmon (potential MSW) for North America and for the Southern NEAC MSW salmon were the same as those used in the previous assessment in 2018 for NAC and for Southern NEAC (ICES, 2018). For NAC, a regionally disaggregated model for 2SW salmon only was developed whereas a combined 1SW cohort model was developed and used for the Southern NEAC complex. Details of the model structures and the differences between these new models and those previously used by the Working Group are provided in the Annex 5 (Stock Annex).

### 5.8.3 Development and risk assessment of catch options

The provision of catch options in a risk framework involves incorporating the uncertainty in the factors used to develop the catch options. The ranges in the uncertainties of all the factors will result in assessments of differing levels of precision. The analysis of risk involves four steps: 1) identifying the sources of uncertainty; 2) describing the precision or imprecision of the assessment; 3) defining a management strategy; and 4) evaluating the probability of an event (either desirable or undesirable) resulting from the fishery action. Atlantic salmon are managed with the objective of achieving spawning conservation limits. The undesirable event to be assessed is that the spawning escapement after fisheries will be below the conservation limit.

The risk assessments for the two stock complexes in the West Greenland fishery are developed in parallel and then combined at the end of the process into a single summary plot or catch options table (see Annex 5 for details; Figure 5.8.3.1).

### 5.8.4 Critical evaluation

Changes to the run-reconstruction and pre-fishery abundance forecast models have been critically examined in ICES (2009; 2011). There were no changes to the risk assessment of the catch options model. The Working Group used models that are fitted and forecasts derived in a single consistent Bayesian framework.
## 5.9 NASCO has requested ICES to update the Framework of Indicators used to identify any significant change in the previously provided multiannual management advice

In 2007, ICES developed and presented to NASCO a framework (Framework of Indicators, FWI) to be used in interim years to determine if there is an expectation that the previously provided multi-year management advice for the Greenland fishery is likely to change in subsequent years (ICES, 2007). A significant change in management advice would be an unforeseen increase in stock abundance to a level that would allow a fishery in the case where no catch had been previously advised, or a decrease in stock abundance when catch options had been chosen. The finalized Framework of Indicators was accepted by NASCO in June 2007, and applied to the 2008 fishery at West Greenland. The FWI was updated in 2009 (ICES, 2009), in 2012 (ICES, 2012), in 2015 (ICES, 2015) and again in 2018 (ICES, 2018) in support of multi-annual regulatory measures for the West Greenland fishery during the time periods 2009–2011, 2012–2014, 2015–2017 and 2018–2020. An updated FWI has been requested by NASCO in support of the multiyear catch advice and the potential approval of multi-year regulatory measures for the 2021–2023 fisheries. A full description of the development of the FWI and instructions for the application of the framework indicator spreadsheet are detailed in Annex 5.

### 5.9.1 Update of the Framework of Indicators

The Working Group updated the FWI in support of the West Greenland fishery management. The update consisted of:

* Adding the values of the indicator variables for the most recent years;

* Running the objective function spreadsheet for each indicator variable and the variable of interest relative to the management objectives;

* Quantifying the threshold value for the indicator variables and the probabilities of a true high state and a true low state for those indicator variables retained for the framework;

* Revising/adding the indicator variables and the functions for evaluating the indicator score to the framework spreadsheet; and

* Providing the spreadsheet for doing the framework of indicators assessment.

The management objectives for the development of the catch options for the West Greenland fishery are provided in Table 5.4.1. Based on the results from the objective function spreadsheet and the criteria established by the Working Group, a total of 19 indicator variables, represented by 13 different rivers, were retained (Table 5.9.1.1; Figure 5.9.1.1). Of these, two were survival rate indicators, while the remainder were of 2SW and large salmon (n=13) or wild 1SW and small salmon (n=4) returns to rivers.
<table><thead><tr><th>Origin</th><th>Wild</th><th>Wild</th><th>Wild</th><th>Wild</th><th>Hatchery</th><th>Hatchery</th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Type of data</td><td>Return</td><td>Return</td><td>Survival</td><td>Survival</td><td>Survival</td><td>Survival</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Size/age group</td><td>Small/1SW</td><td>Large/2SW/ MSW</td><td>Small/1SW</td><td>Large/2SW</td><td>Small/1SW</td><td>Large/2SW</td><td>Total</td></tr><tr><td>Labrador</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Newfoundland</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Québec</td><td>1</td><td>8</td><td></td><td>1</td><td></td><td></td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>Gulf</td><td>1</td><td>1</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>Scotia-Fundy</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>USA</td><td></td><td>11</td><td></td><td></td><td>1</td><td></td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>4</td><td>13</td><td></td><td>1</td><td></td><td>1</td><td>19</td></tr></tbody></table>

Summaries of the indicator variables retained for the potential 2021 to 2023 multiyear catch ad- vice indicator framework are provided in Table 5.9.1.1. No indicator variables were retained for the Labrador, Newfoundland and Southern NEAC areas. All the retained indicator variables had a probability of identifying a true low state or a true high state of at least 80% (Figure 5.9.1.2).

<table><caption>Table 5.1.1.1. Nominal catches of salmon at West Greenland since 1960 (tonnes, round fresh weight) by participating nations. For Greenlandic vessels specifically, all catches up to 1968 were taken with set gillnets only, catches from 1968–2019 were taken with set gillnets and driftnets and catches from 2020 to the present were taken with set gillnets. All non-Greenlandic vessel catches from 1969 to 1975 were harvested with driftnets. The quota figures applied to Greenlandic vessels only, and parenthetical entries identify when quotas did not apply to all sectors of the fishery.</caption><thead><tr><th>Year</th><th>Nor-way</th><th>Fa-roes</th><th>Swe-den</th><th>Den-mark</th><th>Green-land</th><th>Total</th><th>Quota</th><th>Comments</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1960</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>60</td><td>60</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1961</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>127</td><td>127</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1962</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>244</td><td>244</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1963</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>466</td><td>466</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1964</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1539</td><td>1539</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1965</td><td>-</td><td>36</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>825</td><td>858</td><td>Norwegian harvest figures not available, but known to be less than Faroese catch.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1966</td><td>32</td><td>87</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1251</td><td>1370</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1967</td><td>78</td><td>155</td><td>-</td><td>85</td><td>1283</td><td>1601</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1968</td><td>138</td><td>134</td><td>4</td><td>272</td><td>579</td><td>1127</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1969</td><td>250</td><td>215</td><td>30</td><td>355</td><td>1360</td><td>2210</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1970</td><td>270</td><td>259</td><td>8</td><td>358</td><td>1244</td><td>2139</td><td>Greenlandic catch includes 7 t caught by longlines in the Labrador Sea.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1971</td><td>340</td><td>255</td><td>-</td><td>645</td><td>1449</td><td>2689</td><td>-</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1972</td><td>158</td><td>144</td><td>-</td><td>401</td><td>1410</td><td>2113</td><td>1100</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1973</td><td>200</td><td>171</td><td>-</td><td>385</td><td>1585</td><td>2341</td><td>1100</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1974</td><td>140</td><td>110</td><td>-</td><td>505</td><td>1162</td><td>1917</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1975</td><td>217</td><td>260</td><td>-</td><td>382</td><td>1171</td><td>2030</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1976</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1175</td><td>1175</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1977</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1420</td><td>1420</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1978</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>984</td><td>984</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1979</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1395</td><td>1395</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1980</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1194</td><td>1194</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>1981</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1264</td><td>1264</td><td>1265</td><td>Quota set to a specific opening date for the fishery.</td></tr><tr><td>1982</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>1077</td><td>1077</td><td>1253</td><td>Quota set to a specific opening date for the fishery.</td></tr><tr><td>1983</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>310</td><td>310</td><td>1191</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>
