Based on marked juveniles, most of them are captured by gillnets before their second year. The mortality has stabilized or even decreased in the recent years but is till too high, alabout 85-95% before the age of maturity.. No thresholds have been set. |
Four of the five assessed river stocks reached the thresholds only in one year during the assessment period.
