520 |aThis paper presents the general status of Atlantic salmon stocks of the Newfoundland Region. Catch and effort data from the recreational fishery and counts at fishways and counting fences are examined in relation to historic data and management measures in effect in 1998. Total returns of large salmon to most rivers in 1998 exceeded the mean for 1992-96 and several rivers had the highest or among the highest returns on record. Smolt production in 1998 decreased at all six counting facilities, with the declines ranging from 6% to 31%. Unless there is an improvement in marine survival rates, it is likely that returns of small salmon to rivers in insular Newfoundland in 1999 will, in general, be slightly lower than in 1998. Based on estimates of spawning stock size in previous years for Labrador, population sizes are not expected to increase in 1999 without an improvement in natural survival rates.
