Stock status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the Miramichi River, 1998 / G. Chaput … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-49E-PDF
The objectives of the assessment are to estimate the returns of salmon, the spawning escapement after removals and to compare the egg deposition to the conservation requirement for the river. The status of the resource is assessed on the basis of whether the conservation requirement was attained/exceeded, on the trends in returns, the juvenile densities, and the prospects. A prognosis of the future stock status of Atlantic salmon from the Miramichi River using time series of returns, escapements, and juvenile surveys is provided. Additional features of this assessment include: description of a smolt estimation experiment for the Northwest Miramichi in 1998, quantification of risk of meeting conservation in 1999 relative to fisheries scenarios, and an evaluation of the possibility for in-season assessment of the probability of meeting or exceeding the conservation requirements for the Miramichi.
