Report on the salmon by-catch in miscellaneous marine fishing gear, 1976, Newfoundland and Labrador / by Dave Reddin.: Fs97-4/1461E-PDF ; Fs97-4/1461
"The legal commercial Atlantic salmon fisheries conducted around the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, utilize salmon traps and set gillnets. However, there is a purposeful "by-catch" of salmon in herring and mackerel gear, cod traps and gillnets, and trout gillnets that takes a substantial proportion of total Atlantic salmon landings. In Newfoundland, this amounted to 29% of landings in 1976 while in Labrador it was only 3%. Both the people and gear involved are identified in this report. Suggestions are presented for the elimination of the problem. Japanese cod traps are identified as an increasing problem and one that will be difficult to solve in light of present plans for expanding the inshore cod fishery"--Abstract, page iv.
