Description:Atlantic salmon populations in the United States have been grouped into the Long Island Sound, Central New England, and Gulf of Maine (GoM) distinct population segments (Fay, et al., 2006). Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), a distinct population segment (DPS) of a vertebrate species is treated as a species for listing and recovery purposes if it meets the qualifying criteria defined by the joint Distinct Population Segment policy of 1996 (61 FR 4722, February 7, 1996). This policy lays out three criteria, all of which must be met before a population segment can be listed as a DPS. These criteria include the discreteness of the population segment in relation to the remainder of the species to which it belongs, the significance of the population segment to the species to which it belongs, and the population segment's conservation status in relation to the ESA's standards for listing as endangered or threatened.
