... identify significant knowledge gaps and suggest additional research that would be important to the conservation and recovery of salmon populations. Factors to be evaluated include the nature and distinctness of salmon populations in Maine rivers and surrounding areas; the interactions between aquaculture, hatchery, and wild populations; terrestrial and marine environmental factors affecting salmon populations; the effects of changes in the hydrology of Maine's streams on salmon; and the effects on salmon of subsistence, recreational, and commercial fishing in freshwater and ocean areas in and around Maine.
