State of Salmon
How are salmon doing?
PSF’s State of Salmon Report covers the state and trends of all six species of Pacific salmon, including steelhead, in 10 major regions across B.C. and the Yukon.
The majority of salmon are in long-term decline, yet some species are showing recovery in certain regions, demonstrating the resilience of salmon.
Two-thirds of salmon populations are below their long-term averages, but some species have increased in abundance, especially in southern regions.
