aFrom 1871 through 1993, all eggs were obtained from returning sea-run fish. Eggs from kelts—adults after spawning—were first reportedly taken in 1993. Eggs were also collected from captive broodstock beginning in 1994. The figures in this table include eggs from all sources.

Because of the pervasive and substantial decline of Atlantic salmon populations in Maine over the past 150 years, and because they are close to extinction, a comprehensive statewide action should be taken now to ensure their survival. The populations of Atlantic salmon have declined drastically, from an estimated half million adult salmon returning to U.S. rivers each year in the early 1800s to perhaps as few as 1,000 in 2001. The report recommends implementing a formalized decision-making approach to establish priorities, evaluate options and coordinate plans for conserving and restoring the salmon.
