Status of Saint John River, N.B. Atlantic Salmon in 1983 and forecast of returns in 1984 / by G.H. Penney and T.L. Marshall.: Fs70-8/84-47E-PDF
"Estimated total returns to the Saint John River in 1983 were 10,778 1-SW and 9,110 M-SW salmon. Homewater removals of 4,030 1-SW and 5,532 M-SW fish led to an estimated 1983 spawning escapement only 35 percent of the target number of M-SW spawners. The forecast of 1984 homewater returns is 15,683 1-SW fish (8,050 more than the target escapement) and 10,410 M-SW salmon (10 fish more than the target escapement and hatchery broodstock requirements). Homing tendencies of the M-SW salmon to 'above' and 'below' Mactaquac origins will result in a deficit to spawning requirements of 1,528 fish 'below' Mactaquac anda surplus of 1,538 fish above Mactaquac"--Abstract.
