Status of Atlantic salmon in Conne River, SFA 11, Newfoundland, 1999 [electronic resource] / J.B. Dempson, G. Furey and M. Bloom. Ottawa : Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2000. 45 p. : fig., graphs, maps, tables. Canadian Stock Assessment Secretariat research document, 1480-4883 ; 2000/032 Includes bibliographical references (p. 17). Results obtained from a fish counting fence provided the basis for the assessment of the Conne River Atlantic salmon stock in 1999. Returns to home waters (river and estuary) were 2358 salmon <63 cm in length and 241 salmon >63 cm in size. This represented a decrease of 20% for small salmon in comparison with 1998 while large salmon returns declined by 18%. Sea survival to 1SW salmon increased over the previous year but still remains low (2.80). Only 68% of the Management Target was met but 122% of the conservation spawning (egg) requirement was attained. A mark-recapture study estimated a smolt run in 1999 of 63,658, which was 37% less than the peak run in 1997 but similar to the average from 1987-1995. Information on the occurrence of escaped farmed rainbow (steelhead) trout in Conne River, and results of angling activity for escaped rainbow trout during 1999 are also provided. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Furey, G.
