Assessment and modelling of salmon streams in western Newfoundland

The approach to assessing Atlantic salmon in Newfoundland is based on patterns of salmon production and habitat that were established for populations in rivers much further south. The physical and biological characteristics of watersheds and rivers in Newfoundland are different from the southern rivers and the bases for conservation decisions are likely inappropriate. Establishing relationships between stream physical and biological characteristics that are unique to Newfoundland is prudent for better management of Newfoundland salmon populations.
