Prediction of 2-SW and older Atlantic salmon returning to the Millbank trap, Miramichi River, New Brunswick / by T.L. Marshall, J.L. Peppar and E.J. Schofield.: Fs70-8/82-51E-PDF

"Significant predictive equations for return of 2-SW and older Atlantic salmon to the Millbank trap, Miramichi River, New Brunswick, were developed from the number and their percent female composition of 1-SW fish returning in the previous year. Percentage female composition is shown to be a measure of the degree to which 'salmon' of both sexes have matured after one winter at sea and conversely the degree to which some have remained at sea to mature first after two winters. January-February sea water temperatures from a single "station" support the hypothesis that winter temperatures are an important environmental operant on age at first maturity for Atlantic salmon."
