Proceedings of the National Peer Review Meeting on Assessment of the Risk Posed to Wild Atlantic Salmon Population Abundance and Genetic Character by Direct Genetic Interaction with Escapes from East Coast Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture; June 6-9, 2023
Chairpersons: Brittany Beauchamp and Paul Snelgrove
Editors: Emily Ryall, Mark Coulson, and Brittany Beauchamp
Summary
These proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) National Peer Review Meeting to assess the risk posed to wild Atlantic Salmon population abundance and genetic character by direct genetic interaction with escapes from East Coast Atlantic Salmon aquaculture. This meeting was held in person in Halifax, Nova Scotia from June 6–9, 2023. The science advice will inform policy and regulatory reviews, assist in developing a consistent risk management approach in the different regions, inform siting advice and introductions and transfer decisions, and inform the development of standards (for example, for marine net pens used in salmonid aquaculture). The conclusions and advice resulting from this meeting are provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report, which is available on the CSAS website. Supporting Research Documents reviewed and discussed at the meeting will also be made available on the CSAS website.
