Authorities in Norway are stopping all salmon fishing in the southern parts of the country from Sunday night.

The Environment Directorate reports to NRK that the decision affects a total of 33 rivers and lakes from southern Norway up to and including Trøndelag, and that the ban will remain in place until further notice, without a set end date.

The reason is reports of a significant lack of salmon in the rivers.

There is a risk of serious harm to the salmon stock and therefore we must take action, says Ellen Hambro, head of the Environment Directorate, to NRK.

According to the authorities, climate change and salmon farming are the two major threats to the wild Atlantic salmon.

We must unfortunately be prepared for the fact that climate change in combination with other negative human impacts can have serious consequences for nature, says Hambro.
