Status of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks of Lomond River, Torrent River and Western Arm Brook, Newfoundland, 1999 / C.C. Mullins and D. Caines.: Fs70-1/2000-038E-PDF
Returns of small salmon to Lomond River were 42% higher than in 1998 and 8% higher than the 1992-98 mean. Returns of large salmon were the third highest on record and 46% higher than the 1992-98 mean. Returns of small salmon to Torrent River were 19% less than in 1998 and 10% lower than the 1992-98 mean. Returns of large salmon in 1999 were 46% less than in 1998 and 13% less than the 1992-98 mean. Returns of small salmon to Western Arm Brook were 39% less than in 1998 but 10% higher than the 1992-98 mean. Returns of large salmon were 82% less than in 1998 and 50% less than the 1992-98 mean. Returns of both small and large salmon to all three rivers were higher than the 1984-91 means indicating improvements in the stocks since the commercial salmon fishery moratorium. The proportion of large salmon was higher than the 1984-91 mean on all three rivers. It is highly unlikely that the conservation requirement was not achieved on any of the three rivers in 1999.
