The reintroduction of Atlantic Salmon in the Rhine catchment began in 1987, when the ICPR “Salmon 2000” programme set out the ambitious goal to close the gap in the species inventory of the Rhine and to support the return of the salmon and of other fish species. In 2019, the annual meeting of the ICPR fish experts about the reintroduction of migratory fish in the Rhine catchment will stand in the light of the International Year of the Salmon. Experts from the countries in the Rhine catchment will share data and experiences on the state of reintroduction of Atlantic Salmon in the Rhine and its tributaries.
