Abstract:
This Salmon Advisory Committee publication examines effects of human activities on Atlantic salmon and their freshwater habitat, covering the life stages egg to pre-migrating smolt, and emigrating smolts and returning adults. It deals with human activities that affect the survival of juvenile salmon prior to their migration as smolts. It covers three main groups of factors: hydrology (e.g. river regulation and abstraction), water quality (e.g. pollution and acidification), and habitat (e.g. riparian management and gravel extraction).
