Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stock status in the Northumberland Strait, Nova Scotia area, in 1999 / S.F. O'Neil, K.A. Rutherford, and D. Aitken.: Fs70-1/2000-007E-PDF

Fifteen separate rivers on the Northumberland Strait shore of Nova Scotia support Atlantic salmon stocks. Stock status information for 1999 is provided for eight of those stocks based on the conservation requirements and escapements calculated either from a mark-and-recapture experiment (River Philip), capture (exploitation) rates in the angling fishery, or a count of fish by snorkel divers (Sutherlands River). Additional information is included for the three principal rivers in the area. East River, Pictou; River Philip and West River, Antigonish.
