The Marine and Freshwater Research Institute encourages fishermen to release the salmon they catch this summer and be gentle in their fishing in Icelandic rivers

Low return rates of salmon from the sea this summer are resulting in low number of salmon running up many rivers in Iceland. This is important so the spawning stock this autumn will be as strong as it can be.
