High temperature events shape the broadscale distribution of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Emily Corey et al.

Summary: Summer water temperatures exceeding lethal levels for juvenile Atlantic salmon result in abandonment of territory in favor of cooler thermal refuges. This study investigates the impact of thermal refuges on abundance patterns of salmon parr at a river scale. Results show a significant increase in the relative abundance of parr in reaches with thermal refuges after high temperature events in 2012, indicating a preference for cooler refuges. This highlights the critical role of river-wide thermal heterogeneity for the survival of juvenile salmon in summer, especially in the face of climate change.

Observationally-constrained projections of an ice-free Arctic even under a low emission scenario

Yeon-Hee Kim et al.

Summary: By comparing observational and simulation data, we found that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have a significant impact on Arctic sea ice area, and it is projected that the Arctic will be without ice in September under all scenarios. These results emphasize the profound effects of greenhouse gas emissions on the Arctic region and highlight the need to plan and adapt to a seasonally ice-free Arctic in the near future.

Assessing climate change impacts on North American freshwater habitat of wild Atlantic salmon-urgent needs for collaborative research

Carole-Anne Gillis et al.

Summary: Climate change and human activities have had a significant impact on Atlantic salmon habitats, leading to a decline in population. Changes in river temperature dynamics have a particularly significant impact on various aspects of salmon's life, such as growth, reproduction, prey abundance, migration timing, and survival. Urgent interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships are needed to address research gaps and understand the links between river temperature dynamics and physiological requirements of Atlantic salmon.

Temporal changes in the relative abundance of anadromous Arctic charr, brown trout, and Atlantic salmon in northern Europe: Do they reflect changing climates?

Martin-A. Svenning et al.

Summary: Warming temperatures due to climate change may affect the distribution and abundance of freshwater fish species, with different species showing varying responses to temperature changes. A study in northern Europe found that increased temperatures led to changes in the catch composition of anadromous salmonids, with Arctic charr decreasing and brown trout increasing in proportion. Atlantic salmon remained stable in relative catch.

Rapid evolution in salmon life history induced by direct and indirect effects of fishing

Ecological regime shift in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean revealed from the unprecedented reduction in marine growth of Atlantic salmon

Knut Wiik Vollset et al.

Summary: Evidence suggests the presence of an ecosystem-scale regime shift in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, characterized by a sudden decrease in growth of Atlantic salmon and mackerel, as well as a decrease in the proportion of early maturing Atlantic salmon. These changes may be related to factors such as the decline in Arctic water extent in the Norwegian Sea and a reduction in zooplankton in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean.

The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979

Mika Rantanen et al.

Summary: Analyses of observations and climate simulations suggest that Arctic Amplification has been stronger than expected and underestimated in climate models. The warming in the Arctic has been nearly four times faster than the global average over the past 43 years, which is a higher ratio than previously reported. This finding indicates the urgency and severity of Arctic warming.

Variation in the post-smolt growth pattern of wild one sea-winter salmon (Salmo salar L.), and its linkage to surface warming in the easternNorthAtlanticOcean

Christopher D. Todd et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between variation in circulus spacing on the scales of wild Atlantic salmon and changes in body length growth rate, finding that as sea surface temperatures have risen, significant changes in post-smolt growth pattern of salmon occurred.

Growth during the first summer at sea modulates sex-specific maturation schedule in Atlantic salmon

Cecile Trehin et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that decline in Atlantic salmon abundance and changes in life history may be due to deteriorating growth conditions during marine migration. Analysis of historical scales from the Selune River in France shows that marine growth decreases in the first summer but remains stable in subsequent periods at sea. This supports the hypothesis of a sex-specific probabilistic reaction norm, where individual probability to return after 1 year at sea increases with growth. Female salmon may need higher growth rates than males to reach maturity, highlighting a potential mechanism for explaining variability in sea-age at return in the Selune population and elsewhere in southern Europe.

Poor feeding opportunities and reduced condition factor for salmon post-smolts in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean

Kjell Rong Utne et al.

Summary: The study shows a decrease in condition factor and stomach fullness of post-smolts in the Norwegian Sea over the past decade, mainly due to a reduction in highly energetic fish larvae and Amphipoda in their diet. Other prey cannot replace these high-quality foods, with possible causes being ocean warming, decreased primary productivity, and reduced recruitment of important fish larvae.

Maturation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae): a synthesis of ecological, genetic, and molecular processes

Kenyon B. Mobley et al.

Summary: In recent decades, Atlantic salmon has become a model system for sexual maturation research due to its diverse life history strategies, understanding of trait genetic architecture, and high economic value. The maturation process of Atlantic salmon occurs throughout the entire life cycle and is influenced by ecological and genetic factors, with sex-specific effects and potential fitness consequences for each gender. Future research should focus on a broader range of life history stages and utilize ecological and genetic approaches to disentangle the relative effects of different stages on maturation.
