The organization Norwegian Salmon Rivers believes the amount of wild salmon is now so small that fishing must be reduced or eliminated both in sea and river, and requires immediate action. Environment Agency has confirmed to Business Day that the call will be followed.
- It is obvious that there will be limitations both in rivers and in the sea, and that it will initially include Trondheim fjord and rivers there, said senior adviser Stig Johansson in the Environment Directorate.
NTB says Affairs that the new regulations will be ready on Thursday.
Salmon season is now halfway. Catches in the rivers far away last year's level and is significantly lower than the average for the last ten years. The situation is worst in Trøndelag counties, in North More and North Troms. It is also lower catch than normal in western Finnmark and on the South Coast.
Norwegian Salmon Rivers, representing licensees in the rivers, have in recent days been calling for immediate action.
- We have to save the stock. It should be urgently introduced re-release of all female salmon, and it must also apply to salmon fishermen in the sea, said the organization's secretary general, Torfinn Evensen.
He calls this settepotene to ensure next year's crops in the rivers, and therefore believes it is very important to avoid over-exploitation. . (AFP)
