The history of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), also referred to as Salmon below, in Lake Ontario is an accumulation of authentic published accounts, which were almost completed by J. R. Dymond before his death. H. H. MacKay completed the work on Dymond’s behalf (Dymond and MacKay, unpublished, 1966), but it remained largely unknown. The present authors (MEB, EH, PWB) have sought to present an updated subset of Dymond and MacKay’s work as the history of Lake Ontario Salmon is a crucial story in the history of the Great Lakes and its fisheries. The information provided should add materially to the knowledge of the causes that led to the decline and ultimate extirpation of a fascinating and valuable fish, notwithstanding all the efforts that were made to restore it by artificial means.

安大略湖大西洋鲑鱼的历史

安大略湖的大西洋鲑鱼（Salmo salar）的历史，在下文中也称为鲑鱼，是一本正宗的公开记载的积累，几乎由JR戴蒙德在他去世前完成。HH MacKay 代表 Dymond 完成了这项工作（Dymond 和 MacKay，未发表，1966 年），但在很大程度上仍然无人知晓。由于安大略湖鲑鱼的历史是五大湖及其渔业历史上的重要故事，目前作者（MEB、EH、PWB）试图呈现 Dymond 和 MacKay 工作的更新子集。所提供的信息应大大增加对导致一种迷人而有价值的鱼的衰退和最终灭绝的原因的认识，尽管已作出所有努力通过人工手段恢复它。
