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. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Murray, J. Mercer, V. Canada.
