Assessment of the Atlantic salmon population of Conne River, Newfoundland, 1986 / by T. R. Porter, M. F. O'Connell, E.G.M. Ash, and G. Furey.: Fs70-8/86-110E-PDF
"An assessment was conducted of the Atlantic salmon population in Conne River, Newfoundland, in 1986. Total adult production size was estimated to be 11,400-17,100 salmon. Total returns to the river (after the food fishery) were 7,536 salmon < 63 cm and 398 salmon > 63 cm. Egg deposition in 1986 was estimated to be 14.7 x 10 6 eggs which is 93% higher than the recommended target egg deposition of 7.6 x 10 6 eggs (equivalent to 3,000 spawners < 63 cm). Landings in the sport fishery have been relatively stable over the past 6 years. It is anticipated that returns to the Conne River estuary in 1987 will be about 8,500, similar to that observed in 1986. This would provide a surplus of approximately 5,500 salmon"--Abstract.
