Status of Atlantic salmon in Conne River, SFA 11, Newfoundland, 1998 / J.B. Dempson, G. Furey and M. Bloom.: Fs70-1/1999-92E-PDF

This paper summarizes smolt production and returns of Atlantic salmon to Conne River in 1998. Information on environmental characteristics during the 1998 season is also provided, and biological characteristic data for Atlantic salmon are updated. Results from the 1998 season are addressed relative to the Management Target as well as the conservation egg deposition requirement. Owing to resumed interest in the occurrence of escaped steelhead (rainbow) trout at Conne River, information for the period 1990 to 1998 is updated and provided for reference. In addition, biological characteristic data obtained from sampling escaped farmed salmonids that were captured in the Conne River March 24-25, 1999 is also included. A summary of numbers of people observed fishing and corresponding numbers of rainbow trout caught in the upper Bay d'Espoir area during the period February 1 to April 2, 1999 is also provided. These data were collected during patrols carried out by the Conne River Aboriginal Guardians.
