By C.E. Bourgeois; J. Murray; V. Mercer
Abstract
The Exploits River was the site of an Atlantic salmon colonization program from 1957-1993.Counts of at fishways and angling data provided the basis for assessing the status of the salmon population and determining percent of target egg deposition achieved. The 1995 returns to the Exploits was 93% of the average 1992-94 returns and 213% of the 1987-1991 mean and 136% of the 1984-1989 mean. In 1995 the lower, middle and upper Exploits received 99%, 24% and 12% of the required egg deposition respectively.
