Status of the Exploits River stock of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in 1997 / by C.E. Bourgeois, J. Murray and V. Mercer.: Fs70-1/1998-104E-PDF
The Exploits River is the largest watershed in insular Newfoundland, encompassing a drainage area of 11,272 square kilometres. The river flows in a northeasterly direction, entering the ocean in SFA 4. Prior to the inception of the enhancement activity less than 10% of the watershed area was available to anadromous Atlantic salmon due to the presence of natural and man-made obstructions. The Exploits River requires 95.9 million eggs (56,670 small salmon) to meet its conservation egg deposition requirement. However, to date, only 53% of the colonizable habitat within the watershed have been stocked. The intent of this document is to review the status of the stock in 1997.
