Description:

"Current knowledge of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) marine distribution is based primarily on mark-recapture programs initiated in Europe and North America since the end of World War II. The discovery of non-native Atlantic salmon off Greenland prompted the initiation of a US Carlin tagging program in 1962, which revealed vast ocean transits to Canada and Greenland. Since its inception, over 1.5 million fish from New England rivers, primarily hatchery reared smolts, have been tagged and released. Carlin tag recoveries numbered 8,542 with a resulting recovery rate of 0.52%. Just over half (50.8%) of the recoveries have been in US waters (both freshwater and marine), primarily as pre-spawned adult river returns, while the remainder in distant waters off Atlantic Canada (23.2%) and Greenland (26.0%). A Coded Wire Tag (CWT) program was also initiated in the early 1980s to complement the Carlin tagging program. Since its inception, over 6 million tagged Atlantic salmon have been released. CWT recovery rate has been low compared to the Carlin tags given the requirement of trained operators and specialized detection equipment to identify tags. A total of 420 CWT tags were recovered in distant waters of Canada (22.9%) and Greenland (77.1%) through sampling efforts in fish processing plants. This report documents the US Atlantic salmon Carlin and CWT tagging programs, describes the current state of the two databases, and presents summary statistics of the resulting datasets"--Abstract.
