This paper assesses the general status of Atlantic salmon stocks in Salmon Fishing Areas 3 to 14A of the Newfoundland region in 2002. Catch & effort data from the recreational fishery, along with counts at fishways & counting fences, are examined in relation to historical data and management measures in effect in 2002. Results are presented & discussed by Fishing Area with regard to smolt-to-adult survival; recreational catches; fish counts at counting facilities, with comparisons to counts in earlier years; and total returns of small & large salmon.
Three of the four (75%) monitored rivers in Labrador and eight of the 12 (67%) monitored rivers in Newfoundland (excludes Rocky River) achieved conservation in 2015. Salmon returns to Newfoundland and Labrador rivers have increased since the closure of the commercial salmon fisheries, with the exception of some rivers on Newfoundland's south coast. In general, annual returns of Atlantic Salmon are highly variable and populations on the south coast continue to decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) designated South Newfoundland (SFAs 9-12) Atlantic Salmon populations as threatened in 2010 (COSEWIC 2010). Marine survival is considered to be a major factor limiting the abundance of Atlantic Salmon within the region.
