"Salmon numbers across the Northern Hemisphere, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific are now very low. In Scotland the angling catch in 2018 was the lowest since records began in 1952. What are the causes of this serious state of play and what is the future for Scotland's salmon? ... As a geographer, I am interested in how the freshwater environment - the rivers, headwaters and the watersheds of the uplands - can help the salmon to thrive - especially in a future which is forecast to be dominated by a changing climate." Chapters include: Introduction; Salmon in a changing climate (2007); Born to survive; Where the wild salmon run; A protected species; Salmon come to parliament; Salmon in crisis?; High level pressures; Lost at sea; Looking after the juveniles; Running the gauntlet; Homing; The power houses; Salmon in a joined-up world; A surviving species?; Selected references.
