Brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), population dynamics and recreational fishery in Indian Brook Bay, Newfoundland (1995-1998) / M.C. van Zyll de Jong … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-97E-PDF
The brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), is the most common freshwater sport fish in Newfoundland with respect to both its distribution and its importance with anglers. Despite this, current management regulations are determined in an absence of data. The paucity of fundamental data limits the ability to produce scientifically defensible management actions or plans. In an effort to remedy this information gap, a multi-year research project in Indian Bay Brook, Newfoundland was initiated in 1995. The results presented summarize and describe the population dynamics and fishery of Indian Bay brook trout and provide initial parameters needed to develop a brook trout exploitation model. The brook trout exploitation model is described in a companion paper. It is anticipated that the data presented and the model describing brook trout exploitation will provide a scientific basis from which management guidelines and further data requirements can be developed.
