Overview of lacustrine stocking experiments with swim-up and fall-fingerling Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) in Newfoundland / by V. A. Pepper.: Fs70-8/86-111E-PDF

"Published data from lacustrine stocking experiments in Newfoundland, using swim-up Atlantic salmon fry, are reviewed in the context of smolt production per unit of standing water habitat. As well, more recent data from similar experiments with fall-fingerling salmon (i.e. 90 to 100 day fed parr) are presented and results are compared with with those from the swim-up fry stocking experiments. Survival, from stocking to smoltification, suggests average survival from swim-up fry stocking in standing waters (3.5%) may be inferior to average survival from fall-fingerling stocking (10.9%)"--Abstract.
