"Commercial landings of small and large salmon (preliminary data) for the insular Newfoundland portion of the Newfoundland Region in 1986 were similar to 1985. For the Labrador portion of the Newfoundland Region however, commercial landings of small and large salmon in 1986 showed a marked improvement over 1985. Commercial landings of small salmon in both insular Newfoundland and Labrador in 1986 were comparable to historic levels; landings of large salmon in both areas in 1986 however remained well below historic levels. Recreational catches of grilse for insular Newfoundland in 1986 were comparable to 1985 and historic levels. Recreational catches of grilse for Labrador in 1986 were similar to 1985 and historic levels while catches of large salmon increased over 1985 but were below historic levels. Commercial and recreational catches and fishway counts suggest that the abundance of small and large salmon in insular Newfoundland in 1986 was somewhat similar to 1985; catches in Labrador suggest that the abundance of small and large salmon in 1986 was higher than in 1985. Predictions regarding catches of small and large salmon for Labrador and small salmon for insular Newfoundland in 1987 are provided"--Abstract, page 2.
