Assessment of the Nepisiguit River salmon stock in 1983 / by T.G. Lutzac.: Fs70-8/84-2E-PDF
"This is the first biological assessment of the Nepisiguit River salmon resource. The stock was reduced to critical levels by heavy metal mining pollution in the late 1960's. Continued overfishing since the mid 1970's has slowed the rate of recovery in spite of a stocking program. Marked Nepisiguit fish returning as adults from hatchery distributions have been used to provide an estimate of the numbers of Nepisiguit River salmon and grilse harvested in the mixed stock commercial salmon fishery of Nepisiguit Bay"--Abstract, page 2.
