Status of the Exploits River stock of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in 1998 / C.E. Bourgeois, J. Murray and V. Mercier.: Fs70-1/1999-82E-PDF
The Exploits River was the site of an Atlantic salmon enhancement colonization program from 1957-199. Counts at fishways and angling data provided the basis for assessing the status of the salmon population and determining percent of conservation egg deposition achieved. The 1998 freshwater escapement to the Exploits, of 29,052 was 120% of the average 1992-97 escapement and 363% of the 1981-1991 mean. In 1998 the Exploits River received 63% of its conservation egg deposition. A total of 1,218 small salmon were retained in the recreational fishery with a total of 1,802 hook-and-released fish. The Exploits River in addition to conservation egg deposition has a management target of 13,000 spawners which was achieved in 1998 and is used to manage the recreational fishery. This requirement is addresses within the context of the Exploits River achieving its conservation egg deposition.
