Mean fork length of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from 1971-2021

Mean fork length for returning adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) that spent one or two years (1SW and 2SW, respectively) in the marine environment for 16 rivers throughout Eastern Canada spanning an 10° latitudinal gradient. These data were collected as part of monitoring programs for Atlantic salmon returns run by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Data from at least eight populations, spanning all provinces in Atlantic Canada, over a 50-year period (1970-2021) will be included in this meta-analysis.

These data, as well as mean fork length for returning adult Atlantic salmon from three rivers in Québec (1979-2021) collected as part of monitoring programs for Atlantic salmon returns run by the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs, Government of Québec, are also available at: http://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/78PWT.

Purpose

Objective 1: Model population-specific trends in body size of wild salmon and amongst-population synchronicity over time. Preliminary data exploration suggests body size of adult salmon from many rivers have declined in recent years.

Objective 2: Link population-specific trends in body size to time-series of demographic (age structure, size-at-age) and ocean climate indicators (e.g., sea surface temperature, ice cover and North Atlantic Oscillation).
