Description:An Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) mixed-stock fishery operating from August through October exists off the western coast of Greenland and primarily harvests 1 sea-winter (1SW) North American and European origin salmon destined to return to natal waters as 2 sea-winter (2SW) spawning adults. To collect data on the biological characteristics and origin of the harvest necessary for international stock assessment efforts, parties to the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization’s (NASCO) West Greenland Commission (WGC) agreed to participate in an international sampling program for the 2019 fishery. The sampling program was coordinated by the USA (NOAA Fisheries Service) and involved 7 samplers from 6 countries deployed among 4 communities (Sisimiut, Maniitsoq, Nuuk, and Qaqortoq) located on the west coast of Greenland.
