Feeding Grounds

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks in the Baltic Sea are mainly exploited during their sea migration. The offshore fishery in the feeding grounds of these salmon permitted us to analyse the migrations of certain stocks on the basis of tag recovery data. Four salmon stocks from rivers draining into Bothnian Bay (25°E, 65.5°N) were selected for study. During 1984-1991, about 135 000 2-year-old hatchery-reared smolts were tagged and released. We applied logit models, with the site of recovery as a multicategory response variable, to analyse the distribution of tag recoveries in the Baltic Sea feeding grounds. The results showed the combined influence of stock, prey abundance, and smolt size on the spatial marine distribution of the salmon. Although stock-specific sea migration patterns were apparent, annual environmental factors had a stronger influence on the sea migration route of salmon than did the stock factor. The salmon released as small smolts (total length [Formula: see text] 17.0 cm) were more frequently caught farther from the release site than were those released as larger smolts (>17 cm). The abundance of suitable prey (age 0+ herring) in the year of smolt release was found to be a key factor influencing the migration distance. The salmon released in the years of strong herring recruitment in the Gulf of Bothnia had a higher probability to stay in the Bothnian Sea for feeding and not to migrate farther south.

Abstract Mikkonen, J., Keinänen, M., Casini, M., Pönni, J., and Vuorinen, P. J. 2011. Relationships between fish stock changes in the Baltic Sea and the M74 syndrome, a reproductive disorder of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 2134–2144. The M74 syndrome of Baltic salmon (Salmo salar), which appears as increased yolk-sac fry mortality (YSFM), impairs the reproduction of salmon stocks. Changes in the prey stocks of Baltic salmon in its two feeding areas, the southern Baltic Proper (BPr), where sprat (Sprattus sprattus) was the main prey species during the high incidence of M74, and the Bothnian Sea, where herring (Clupea harengus) is the dominant species, were analysed in relation to salmon growth and size and in relation to the incidence of M74. The high condition factor (CF > 1.05) of prespawning salmon predicted high YSFM. From the various stock factors of sprat and herring in the southern BPr, the biomass of sprat had the strongest positive relationships with the CF of prespawning salmon, and the total prey biomass with YSFM. It is concluded that the ample but unbalanced food resources for salmon in the BPr, primarily sprat, induce M74. By reducing the fishing pressure on cod (Gadus morhua) and by more effectively managing the sprat fishery in years when the cod stock is weak, the incidence of the M74 syndrome could be reduced and even prevented.
