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.

Two-thirds of salmon populations are below their long-term averages, but some species have increased in abundance, especially in southern regions.
