The Status of the Atlantic salmon stock of the Northwest River, Bonivista bay (SFA 5), Newfoundland, 2000
By J. M. Simpson and C. E. Bourgeois
Abstract
Returning adult anadromous salmon (Salmo salar L.) have been counted annually in the Northwest River from 1995 to 2000 utilizing a portable counting weir. During this time frame the river has failed to attain its conservation egg deposition requirement. The percentage of the requirement achieved has ranged between a high of 55 % in 1996 and most recently a low of 27% in 2000. A mark-recapture study estimated the smolt production to be 11,175 in 2000.
