  • A Report on Recapture from a 1968 Native Salmon Smolt Tagging
    RESTRICTED THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC FISHERIES INTERNA nONAl COMMISSION FOR ICES/ICNAF Salmon Doc. 71/15 Serial No. 2541 (also ICNAF Res.Doc. 71/71) (B.g.14) ANNUAL MEETING - JUNE 1971 A Report on Recapture from a 1968 Native Salmon Smolt Tagging Project on the Miramichi River by G.E. Turner Resource Development Branch Department of Fisheries and Forestry of Canada Halifax, Nova Scotis l.t INTRODUCTION A program to evaluate the contribution of hatchery reared salmon smolts to sport and commercial fisheries in the Atlantic region was started in 196B. Part of this program included the tagging of wild native smolts in selected.rivers for comparison of returns with hatchery releases. This report presents results on 1969 and 1970 recaptures of wild native smolts tagged and released in the Miramichi River in 196B. The Miramichi River (Figure 1) is located in New Brunswick, has a drainage area of over 5,500 square miles and empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 2.0 METHODS AND MATERIALS The native smolts used for the tagging project were captured in the estuary on their seaward migration and are representativ~ of the whole river and not one particular tributary. Fish were selected for tagging because of their vigor and good physical appearance (lack of scaled areas, abrasions, fun­ gal growth or'decayed fins). Although size was not a determining factor in selection of smolts for tagging, those under 12 cm. were culled as a precaution against damage from tagging needles. Tags used on all smolts were the modified Carlin type tied with black monofilament nylon twine and applied with a double needle tagging jig.

Our interim target is to reduce it to 3 per cent of GDP by 1996–97. The _______________ budget puts us on a course to meet that target. We will reduce the deficit to $39.7 billion in the coming fiscal year, to $32.7 billion Prayers in 1995–96, and, with only a moderate growth, to $25 billion in _______________ 1996–97. Our financial requirements are lower: $30.2 billion in 1994–95 and $22.7 billion in 1995–96. Let me be very clear. No future action is required for us to GOVERNMENT ORDERS meet our three–year deficit target. This will happen as a direct result of the actions contained in the 1994 budget in and of [English] themselves.

  • Brief Presentation to the House of Common's Standing Committee On
    Brief Presentation to the House of Common’s Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans on the Impact of the Rapid Increase of the Striped Bass in The Miramichi River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence BY: John Bagnall, Chair, Fisheries Committee, the New Brunswick Salmon Council DATE: March 4, 2019 The New Brunswick Salmon Council (the NBSC) is an Atlantic salmon conservation coalition comprised of 25 fish & game, environmental and First Nations organizations. A large majority of the members of our component organizations are primarily Atlantic salmon sport fishery participants and proponents, and they view wild salmon conservation as a means to achieve better recreational fishing results. Many also fish for other species, and support the establishment and maintenance of “good” fishing for species such as striped bass, brook trout, and smallmouth bass as well as salmon. As an introduction, the following is an explanation of the differences between recreationally fishing for Atlantic salmon and striped bass, and a discussion of what differentiates “good” from “bad” fishing for each. Fishing for “bright” Atlantic salmon (as opposed to post-spawned “black” salmon or kelts) is not for the impatient. Sea-run Atlantic salmon sport fishing in eastern Canada is conducted only by means of fly-fishing, a technique that takes patience for an angler to rise above even the level of ineptitude. “Bright” salmon are on their spawning run, and in fresh water do not feed. Therefore, even when employing proper fly-fishing techniques, it can be extremely difficult for anglers, to hook them. Salmon fishing occurs above the tidal limit in flowing water.

  • Extent of Predation Bias Present in Migration Survival and Timing Of
    Daniels et al. Anim Biotelemetry (2019) 7:16 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-019-0178-2 Animal Biotelemetry RESEARCH Open Access Extent of predation bias present in migration survival and timing of Atlantic salmon smolt (Salmo salar) as suggested by a novel acoustic tag Jason Daniels1* , Stephen Sutton1, Dale Webber2 and Jonathan Carr1 Abstract Background: Acoustic telemetry is increasingly being used as a tool to measure survival, migration timing and behaviour of fsh. Tagged fsh may fall prey to other animals with the tag continuing to be detected whilst it remains in the gastrointestinal tract of the predator. Failure to identify post-predation detections introduces “predation bias” into the data. We employed a new predator tag technology in the frst known feld trial to understand the extent these tags could reduce predation bias in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) smolt migration through a 65-km zone beginning in freshwater and extending through an estuary. These tags signal predation by detecting a pH change in the predators’ gut during digestion of a tagged prey. We quantifed survival and timing bias by comparing measure- ments from non- and post-predated detections of tagged individuals’ to only those detections where predation was not signalled. Results: Of the 50 fsh tagged, 41 were detected with 24 of these signalling as predated. Predation bias was greatest in the upper estuary and decreased towards the bay. Survival bias peaked at 11.6% at river km 54. Minimum and maxi- mum migration time were both biased long and were 16% and 4% greater than bias corrected timing at river km 66 and 54, respectively.

Edinburgh Assurance Co. et al. Federal Court Harrington, J. April 12, 2012. Summary: The marine insurance in issue was excess third party liability cover, split between various syndicates and companies. The plaintiffs (the "Irving Group") sought indemnity from the defendant underwriters for sums paid to the Canadian government in settlement of an action for the cost of refloating the tank-barge Irving Whale and her cargo of Bunker C fuel oil, for the cost of defending that action, and for sue and labouring expenses allegedly incurred on the underwriters' behalf. The underwriters denied liability. They took the position that the Irving Group were not liable, or, if they were, their liability was not covered by the policies. The limit on liability coverage was $5 million. The Federal Court was satisfied that one or more of the Irving Group would have been found liable in public nuisance to an amount in excess of $5 million.
