Atlantic salmon in Maine, once abundant but now seriously depleted,
were listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act
(ESA) in November 2000. The listing covers the wild fish in eight
Maine rivers as a single "distinct population segment." The
controversy in Maine that accompanied the listing led Congress to
request the National Research Council's (NRC's) advice on the
science relevant to understanding and reversing the declines in
Maine's salmon populations. The charge to the NRC's Committee on
Atlantic Salmon in Maine included an interim report focusing on the
genetic makeup of Maine Atlantic salmon populations. This is the
interim report. Understanding the genetic makeup of Maine's salmon
is important for recovery efforts, because the degree to which
populations in Maine differ from adjacent populations in Canada and
the degree to which populations in different Maine rivers and
tributaries differ from each other affect the choice of recovery
options that are most likely to be effective. This report focuses
only on questions of genetic distinctiveness. The committee's final
report will address the broader issues, such as the factors that
have caused Maine's salmon populations to decline and the options
for helping them to recover.
