“…Expenses and opportunity cost of time incurred to individuals by these recreational activities provide the basis for inferring the economic value of the environmental goods and services. An example of the application of the travel cost method is for estimating the economic value of recreational salmon fishing in Teno River in Finland (Pokki et al 2018).…”

“…Further, wild populations of Atlantic salmon have significant socio-economic importance: they are an important component of indigenous cultures and artisanal fisheries (COSEWIC, 2010;Lam & Borch, 2011). Atlantic salmon are also a primary target of recreational and commercial fisheries that can bring significant income to remote regions (Pokki, Artell, Mikkola, Orell, & Ovaskainen, 2018). For example, the annual value of recreational fishing trips to a single remote Atlantic salmon river system have been estimated to range from € 2.6 to 3.7 million (Pokki et al, 2018).…”

Moreover, information concerning the timing of maturation is needed for developing accurate models for sustainable recreational and commercial fisheries (Kuparinen & Hutchings, 2017Kuparinen & Merilä, 2007;Oomen et al, 2020) and for predicting evolutionary change as a result of exploitation and climate change (de Roos, Boukal, & Persson, 2006).…”

Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies, knowledge of trait genetic architecture, and their high economic value. The aim of this synthesis is to summarize the current state of knowledge concerning maturation in Atlantic salmon, outline knowledge gaps, and provide a roadmap for future work. Our summary of the current state of knowledge: 1) maturation in Atlantic salmon takes place over the entire life cycle, starting as early as embryo development, 2) variation in the timing of maturation promotes diversity in life history strategies, 3) ecological and genetic factors influence maturation, 4) maturation processes are sex-specific and may have fitness consequences for each sex, 5) genomic studies have identified large-effect loci that influence maturation, 6) the brain-pituitary-gonadal axis regulates molecular and physiological processes of maturation, 7) maturation is a key component of fisheries, aquaculture, conservation, and management, and 8) climate change, fishing pressure, and other anthropogenic stressors likely have major effects on salmon maturation. In the future, maturation research should focus on a broader diversity of life history stages, including early embryonic development, the marine phase and return migration. We recommend studies combining ecological and genetic approaches will help disentangle their relative contributions to maturation. Functional validation of large-effect loci should reveal how these genes influence maturation. Finally, continued research in maturation will improve our predictions concerning how salmon may adapt to fisheries, climate change, and other future challenges.

“…In a recent study on angling in River Teno, a travel cost recreation demand model was used to estimate the recreational value of salmon fishing. Following a twostep estimation procedure, Pokki et al (2018) showed that the estimated consumer surplus per trip ranged from EUR 222 to 338, and the estimated total recreational value of salmon fishing in the area was EUR 2.4 to 3.7 million in 2011. The study suggested that the number of fishing trips per angler is strongly affected by the angler's previous salmon catch.…”
