Follow-up to the assessment of Atlantic salmon in selected rivers of Cape Breton Island / T.L. Marshall … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-108E-PDF

This document presents data background to earlier assessments, outlook and management considerations for Atlantic salmon management in Cape Breton Island in 1999. Data presented here-in continue the format of the 1998 report; methodology and interpretations are largely contained in another document. New is the summary re-derivation of conservation requirements for the Margaree, Middle, Baddeck and North rivers using standardized estimates of production area and recent biological characteristics of the respective stocks. The main elements of this document updates of the assessed numbers of salmon that returned in 1998 to the Margaree, Middle, Baddeck, North and Grand rivers, the numbers that spawned relative to conservation requirements and, in the case of the Margaree, additional prognosis of returns in 1999. Returns are assessed using mark-and-recapture techniques on the Middle, Baddeck and North rivers, trap counts on the Grand River and angling catches and catch rates on the Margaree.
