Genetic Status of Atlantic Salmon in Maine
Atlantic salmon in Maine, once abundant but now seriously depleted, were listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) in November 2000. The listing covers the wild fish in eight Maine rivers as a single "distinct population segment." The controversy in Maine that accompanied the listing led Congress to request the National Research Council's (NRC's) advice on the science relevant to understanding and reversing the declines in Maine's salmon populations. The charge to the NRC's Committee on Atlantic Salmon in Maine included an interim report focusing on the genetic makeup of Maine Atlantic salmon populations. This is the interim report. Understanding the genetic makeup ...
Atlantic Salmon in Maine
Because of the pervasive and substantial decline of Atlantic salmon populations in Maine over the past 150 years, and because they are close to extinction, a comprehensive statewide action should be taken now to ensure their survival. The populations of Atlantic salmon have declined drastically, from an estimated half million adult salmon returning to U.S. rivers each year in the early 1800s to perhaps as few as 1,000 in 2001. The report recommends implementing a formalized decision-making approach to establish priorities, evaluate options and coordinate plans for conserving and restoring the salmon.

The President's Salmon
Every spring, for thousands of years, the rivers that empty into the North Atlantic Ocean turn silver with migrating fish. Among the crowded schools once swam the King of Fish, the Atlantic salmon. From New York to Labrador, from Russia to Portugal, sea-bright salmon defied current, tide, and gravity, driven inland by instinct and memory to the very streams where they themselves emerged from gravel nests years before. The salmon pools and rivers of Maine achieved legendary status among anglers and since 1912, it was tradition that the first salmon caught in the Penobscot River each spring was presented as a token to the President of the United States. The last salmon presented was in 1992, t...
Silver Streams
In 1786 fresh Atlantic salmon were sold by Col. Robert Treat for two pence per pound at his store near Penjajawoc Falls on the Penobscot River. J.F. Leavitt and fly rod maker H.L. Leonard reported the first Atlantic salmon caught on a fly at the mouth of Wassataquoik Stream in 1880. A few years later the Penobscot Salmon Club was formed, its club house built on the shores of the Bangor Salmon Pool. It was here that Maine anglers began the tradition of recreational fly fishing for Atlantic salmon. In 1885, forty salmon were reported caught by salmon anglers at this pool. A record 30 pound salmon was recorded (not caught on a fly) by W.W. Fogg. In 1921, the first Atlantic salmon of the season ...
