The status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) on Prince Edward Island (SFA 17) in 2013 [electronic resource] / D.K. Cairns and R.E. MacFarlane. État du saumon de l’Atlantique (Salmo salar) à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard (ZPS 17) en 2013 Ottawa : Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2015. iv, 25 p. : fig., graphs, maps, tables. Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat research document, 1919-5044 ; 2015/019, Gulf Region "June 2015." Includes bibliographical references (p. 7-9). This paper summarizes Atlantic salmon status on Prince Edward Island (PEI) to 2013. The number of PEI rivers containing Atlantic salmon was approximately 71 at the time of European contact, 28 in 2000-2002, 22 in 2007-2008, and approximately 26 currently. Available data series (redds, juvenile densities) have poor temporal and geographic coverage, which limits the ability to infer trends in salmon status. However it is clear that salmon status has improved greatly in a cluster of northeast PEI rivers which have been subject to intensive habitat rehabilitation. Uncertainty and knowledge gaps in this review include lack of recreational catch estimates, unreliable determination of salmon presence in some rivers, poor or dated data on biological characteristics and spawner to redd ratios used in conservation requirement calculations, and poor trend data. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Canada.
