"An expanded electrofishing survey was conducted in 2009 on the rivers within Outer Bay of Fundy (OBoF) region in Salmon Fishing Area (SFA) 23 to assist a review of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations in Eastern Canada by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). The survey was designed to sample the smaller, less studied, tributaries in order to examine the distribution and densities of various freshwater fish species, particularly Atlantic Salmon. Results from these new sites (n=84) were compared to the regularly sampled index sites (n=51) from the more 40 tributaries or rivers sampled within the outer region of SFA23. Although Atlantic Salmon juveniles of at least one age class were captured at more than half these sites surveyed, the overall densities were well below those of healthy self sustaining populations. The highest mean densities of juvenile salmon were observed on two index rivers; the Keswick (17.8 fish per 100 m2) and Shikatehawk (25.3 fish per 100 m2) rivers. The distribution and densities of other species varied amongst the different geographic areas. American eel catches were larger and more prevalent in the sites located downriver of the Mactaquac Hydroelectric Dam than the sites sampled upriver of the dam. Non-native species, such as Smallmouth Bass and Rainbow Trout were captured more frequently at the sites upriver of Mactaquac Dam"--Abstract, page vii.
North American stocks of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have been declining. One measure being employed to reverse that trend is increased hatchery production. As with husbandry of other animals, intensive rearing is usually associated with higher than normal health risks. Research on diseases of Atlantic salmon can help prevent, reduce, or otherwise control mortality due to problem parasites, infections, and other diseases. For planning of research as well as for diagnostic work, health management, and husbandry, published information on diseases of the Atlantic salmon must be readily available. Inasmuch as the literature is widely scattered, the purpose of this work is to compile a bibliography from international sources on the diseases (detection, diagnosis, identification, and control) of Atlantic salmon. Most of the references are arranged alphabetically by author, either have been annotated by the staff of the Eastern Fish Disease Laboratory, or are abstracts by the author.
The importance of recreational fisheries is increasing in many transitional economies. These guidelines focus on recreational fisheries and describe strategies to promote environmentally sustainable and socially responsible management of such fisheries. To this end, the document details policy, managerial and behavioural recommendations for sustainable recreational fisheries.
