Disappearing wild salmon spark concern among Norwegian anglers | AFP

Description:

Norway's iconic wild salmon is in dramatic decline, a victim of fish farming and climate change. The species' plummeting stocks have sparked concern among sport anglers and those who make a living from the hobby, which has become part of the country's DNA. Last year, authorities suspended fishing in 33 waterways and have this year imposed new restrictions in an effort to arrest the decline. In 2021, the fish was placed on Norway's red list of near‑endangered species.
