Status of Atlantic salmon at Highlands River, Bay St. George, SFA 13, Newfoundland, 1998 / J.B. Dempson and G. Clarke.: Fs70-1/1999-93E-PDF
This paper summarizes smolt production and returns of Atlantic salmon to Highlands River in 1998 along with results of juvenile salmon population estimates from electrofishing surveys. In addition, information on environmental characteristics are provided, and biological characteristic data for Atlantic salmon are updated. Where possible, information on upstream and downstream runs and biological characteristics have been obtained from electronic data records. In some cases, information presented in the current document differs from that provided in the past. Owing to the impact of the 1996 flood event on current smolt production, a summary of hydrological conditions at Highlands River for the period 1982-1998 is also provided, in order to gain insight as to whether similar events may have impacted salmon production in this river in the past.
