This paper examines the status of Atlantic salmon in Indian Bay Brook, Middle Brook, and Terra Nova River, Bonivista Bay (Salmon Fishing Area (SFA) 5), Northeast Brook, Trepassey, St. Mary's Bay (SFA 9), and Northeast River, Placentia Bay (SFA 10) in 1998, the seventh year of the commercial salmon fishing moratorium. In this report, detailed assessments are provided for Indian Bay Brook and Northeast Brook, Trepassey for the second time. Counts of small and large salmon are used in conjunction with recreational fishery data and biological characteristics data to calculate total river returns and egg depositions. Stock status is evaluated relative to conservation egg requirements for all rivers. Also presented in this document is information on egg-to-smolt survival and smolt-to-adult (sea) survival for Northeast Brook, Trepassy and water temperature and water level data for all rivers.
