This year's salmon fishing season in Norway started on 1 June, but it has not been quite the same as usual because wild salmon are disappearing from Norwegian rivers. At a third of all fishing spots, there are so few salmon that fishing will remain closed for the entire season. ‘It has never been worse,’ says Torbjørn Forseth, senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and chairman of the Scientific Council, to DN (Dagens Næringsliv).
