Species extinction and population extirpation are now widespread across aquatic ecosystems with many diadromous species, including Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), in decline throughout much of the North Atlantic. Declines can occur simultaneously at both large small regional scales rendering factors driving decreases more elusive. On south coast Newfoundland abundance Conne River fell by 92% over a period almost four decades contrast most other populations region suggesting local may be contributing to decline. Here potentially long-term reviewed (1) examining trends survival different life stages, (2) presenting synopsis on presence absence impacting productivity this population, (3) using semi-quantitative two dimensional classification system, based expert opinion, rank decline, (4) utilizing quantitative Random Forest analysis complement opinion approach identifying possibly affecting population. Results from qualitative analyses identified associated aquaculture as possible driver Additional include influence climate change predation freshwater marine habitats. As various native range extirpation, results further highlight necessity river-specific addition monitoring fine-scale demographic threat information prioritization research necessary for conserving or restoring endangered populations.
