The status of Atlantic salmon in Gander River 1997 was determined using counts of small and large salmon from a counting fence located on the mail stem just above head of tide, recreational fishery data, and biological characteristics information. Total returns of small salmon in 1997 decreased by 56% from 1996 and were the lowest since implementation of the commercial salmon fishery moratorium in 1992. Returns of large salmon in 1997 however increased by 7% over 1996 and were the second highest of the moratorium years. The percentage of conservation egg requirement achieved in 1997 (63%) was the lowest of the moratorium years.
