Status of five enhanced Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks of the Newfoundland Region in 1995
By C.E. Bourgeois; J.P. Davis; J. Murray; V. Mercer
Abstract
The status of Atlantic salmon in four systems, namely Rocky River, Piper's Hole River, Little River and Flat Bay Brook, presently undergoing salmon enhancement activities are discussed. The systems are located in Salmon Fishing Areas(SFA) 9, 10, 11 and 13 respectively. Egg deposition for each watershed was 33%, 22%,21.7% and 28.8% respectively of the target egg deposition. Of these systems only the Little River would have benefited in 1995 from previous stocking activities. The target egg deposition achieved in 1995 for Piper's Hole River may be an underestimate due to a fence washout. Romaines River in SFA 13 was stocked for the first time in 1995 with 39,577 unfed fry. Total returns for the system are unavailable in 1995.
