Nepisiguit and Jacquet River salmon assessment for 1997

By A. Locke

Abstract

Egg deposition of Atlantic salmon in the Nepisiguit River in 1997 is believed to have been in the order of 50-60% of the requirement for conservation, similar to the situation of the past four years. The egg deposition requirement has not been met since 1988.

The estimated egg deposition of Atlantic salmon in the Jacquet River was 52% of the conservation requirement. Conservation requirements for the Jacquet River were recalculated as 571 large and 347 small salmon. Spawning escapement of both large and small salmon was less than the conservation requirement, as was returns of large salmon.
