Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) stock status update in Newfoundland and Labrador for 2015 . : Fs70-7/2016-020E-PDF
Three of the four (75%) monitored rivers in Labrador and eight of the 12 (67%) monitored rivers in Newfoundland (excludes Rocky River) achieved conservation in 2015. Salmon returns to Newfoundland and Labrador rivers have increased since the closure of the commercial salmon fisheries, with the exception of some rivers on Newfoundland’s south coast. In general, annual returns of Atlantic Salmon are highly variable and populations on the south coast continue to decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) designated South Newfoundland (SFAs 9-12) Atlantic Salmon populations as threatened in 2010 (COSEWIC 2010). Marine survival is considered to be a major factor limiting the abundance of Atlantic Salmon within the region.
