Status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations in Crabbes River and Fischells Brook, Newfoundland, 1998 / T.R. Porter. : Fs70-1/1999-95E-PDF

The estimated total returns to Crabbes River were 491 small and 177 large salmon, and to Fischells Brook was 215 small and 72 large salmon. The percentage of the egg deposition conservation requirement achieved on Crabbes River in 1998 was 44%, which is 54% lower than observed in 1997. In Fischells Brook 23% of the conservation egg deposition requirement was achieved, 48% lower than achieved in 1997. The spawning stock on Fischells Brook is at seriously low levels and it is advised that no fishing mortality be permitted in 1999. The information available did not lend itself to forecasting the abundance of salmon in 1999. The low abundance of small salmon in 1998 may have been due to the severe flooding in February 1996, which could have caused an increase in mortality of juvenile salmon.
