Abstract
This paper summarizes information on angling and subsistence fisheries catch statistics for Labrador in 2003 along with environmental data collected at gauging stations on selected rivers. Total return information was summarised from counting facilities. Subsistence fisheries in Labrador recorded landings of 8,653 Atlantic salmon weighing 22,108 kg, 11,616 Arctic charr weighing 15,048 kg, and 14,438 sea brook trout weighing 11,619 kg. Landings recorded by the angling fishery were 2,045 small salmon retained, 5,846 small salmon released, 226 large salmon retained and 1,578 large salmon released. In general, water levels in Labrador rivers were below average in the north and average to below average in the south with several spates. Low water continued well into the fall.
