Egg depositions in some Newfoundland rivers / by M. F. O'Connell and D. G. Reddin.: Fs70-8/83-15E-PDF

"Egg deposition rates for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) were calculated for four insular Newfoundland rivers. Compared with a target deposition rate of 2.4 eggs/m2 (Elson 1975), Terra Nova River was shown to be underseeded. Deposition rates obtained for Middle Brook, Northeast River and Salmon Brook (to a lesser extent) greatly exceeded 2.4 eggs/m2. Extensive rearing of juveniles occurs in standing waters on these systems which leads to artificially inflated values when deposition rates are expressed in terms of stream habitat"--Abstract.
