The Salmon Ecosystem Data Hub
Discover, connect, and contribute Atlantic salmon research data from across the North Atlantic — one searchable map of who holds what, where, and when.

Built for the Missing Salmon Alliance's Likely Suspects Framework, which mobilises biological, physical and salmon-specific knowledge from freshwater and marine environments around the North Atlantic to help researchers and managers find data, inform management actions, and mitigate population declines.
Map-first Discovery
Browse datasets geographically across freshwater, estuarine, coastal and marine domains, or switch to the coverage-gaps view to see how they cover salmon domains and Essential Salmon Variables.
Essential Salmon Variables
Every source is tagged by Domain and Essential Salmon Variable, providing a unique insight into under-utilised opportunities along with gaps in our knowledge base.
Community Contributed
Researchers and data owners submit and maintain their own metadata under the Data Sharing Group agreement.
Interoperable Metadata
SalHub produces interoperable metadata, reusable by popular online metadata catalogues, through alignment with the Ecological Metadata Language.
Data Citation
Published data should leverage durable identifiers to enable data citation, following FORCE11 conventions. SalHub can leverage third party catalogues to produce globally unique DOIs.
One life cycle, eight domains
Every data source is tagged with the stages of the salmon life cycle it covers - from rearing in rivers, out through estuaries and coastal waters to the open ocean, and back upstream to spawn.
