    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Gulf Region Science Response 2015/008 UPDATE OF STOCK STATUS OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) IN DFO GULF REGION (NEW BRUNSWICK SALMON FISHING AREAS 15 AND 16) FOR 2014 Context The last assessment of stock status of Atlantic salmon for Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Gulf Region was completed after the 2013 return year (DFO 2014). DFO Fisheries and Aquaculture Management (FAM) requested an update of the status of the Atlantic Salmon stocks in DFO Gulf Region for 2014. Indicators for adult and juvenile Atlantic Salmon stocks of the Restigouche River (Salmon Fishing Area 15) and the Miramichi River (SFA 16) are provided in this report. Juvenile indices for the Buctouche River (SFA 16) are also provided. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of December 11, 2014 on Indicators for Atlantic Salmon for Gulf New Brunswick rivers (SFA 15, 16). No additional publications from this process are anticipated. Background All rivers flowing into the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence are included in DFO Gulf Region. Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) management areas in DFO Gulf Region are defined by four salmon fishing areas (SFA 15 to 18) encompassing portions of the three Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). For management purposes, Atlantic Salmon are categorized as small salmon (grilse; fish with a fork length less than 63 cm) and large salmon (fish with a fork length equal to or greater than 63 cm). Analysis and Response Abundance indices of adult salmon Information on adult salmon abundance is provided for the Restigouche River of SFA 15 and the Miramichi River of SFA 16.

    This paper not to be cited without prior·reference to the author. International Council for C•M• 1975IM : 26 the Exploration of the< Sea Anadromous and Catadromous Fish Committee Lower ocean survival rates for hatchery-reared salmon(Salmo salar) stocks re1eased in rivers thantheir native streams. by J.A. Ritter Resource Development Branch Fisheries and Marine Service Environment Canada Halifax, Nova Scotia ABSTRACT· The paper presents an analysis of tag returns for hatchery­ reared smolts öf·three genetic stocks released in rivers situated at different distances from their natIve streams. Tag return rates for the releasegroups showa clinaldecrease with the distance the stocks were transplanted from their native streams. This is interprctcd as representing a clinal decrease in ocean survival, the cxtent of which appears to vary with the coastal distance bctwccn.thc rccipient river and the native stream of the particular stock. INTRODUCTION Survival of hatchery-reared salmon smolts to the adult stage varies considerably among release groups. Although some variation in ocean survival can be attributed to the size and quality or health of the hatchery-reared smolt (Carlin 1968; Peterson 1971 and Frantsi et a1 1972) it has been suggested that survival is also dependcnt on the location of the river in which thc smolts are rc~cased (Ritter and Lister 1971 and Ritter 1972). In this paper, further cvidcnce is prcsented that hatchery­ reared smolts experience lower ocean survival rates when released in rivers other than their native strcams. The paper includes an analysis of tag return data for hatchery-reared smolts released in several Maritime rivers, situated at different distances from the \t native streams or the natural migration routes of the parent stocks • .

We are finished counting smolts and have now extracted our smolt wheels from the NW Miramichi River and the LSW Miramichi River. Fry Release Our fry, which we have reared and grown at the hatchery, are now being released into their natal rivers. A first-feeding fry is a recently hatched salmon which has absorbed its yolk sac and has just begun to eat solid foods. The MSA’s trucks have been covering a lot of ground delivering the fry to Juniper, the Cains River, and to NW Miramichi tributaries for release. This year approximately 500,000 salmon fry were released. Striped Bass Larval Study In an effort to confirm spawning locations for striped bass, Ichthyoplankton samples were collected for our striped bass larval study in on the NW Miramichi River, SW Miramichi River, and the Tabusintac River. The Northwest Miramichi estuary remains the only confirmed spawning location for striped bass in the Southern Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

  • History of Wyers Family
    History of Wyers Family The early history of the Wyers family was gathered and written up in a photocopied booklet written by Geraldine Cluff and dated June 1998. Our branch of the Wyers family probably descended from Edward Wyer who was born in Scotland in 1622 and died on May 31, 1693 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Johnson on Jan. 5, 1659 and is credited with being the ancestor of the American Wyer family. He was a tailor and became well off. Two of Edward and Elizabeth’s descendants settled in Massachusetts and a third in the vicinity of Orr’s Island in Maine. What is known is that our branch of the Wyers family were United Empire Loyalists who at the end of the American Revolutionary war in 1783, fled north to Nova Scotia, which was easily accessible by sea. In 1784 New Brunswick, formerly part of Nova Scotia, became a separate province. The first known ancestors were Joseph and his brother Phineas Wyers who never married. Joseph Wyers was born at sea when the family fled to Canada early in the 1800’s. He was in St. Andrews for some time before he settled along the St. John river married Frances Phillips who was from a prominent family that owned 52,500-acre estate in Yonkers, New York. A book ‘Phillips Manor’ in my possession gives details about the family home. The introductory pages may be found on this site as a separate document. Joseph and Frances had a large family and the names that are known include Frederick J [from whom our branch descended], Antoinette, Charles, Betty, Adeline, Kate [adopted], David, and Livingston.

Summary of returns II. Summary of harvests III. Advice to countries IV. About ASF’s State of Wild Atlantic Salmon Report V. Glossary of terms and concepts I. SUMMARY OF RETURNS 2019 NORTH AMERICAN ATLANTIC SALMON RETURNS • It is estimated that 436,000 adult Atlantic salmon returned to North American rivers in 2019. • Large salmon returns were estimated to be 103,900, the 3rd lowest figure in a 49-year data series. • Grilse returns were estimated at 332,100, the 8th lowest in a 49-year data series 2019 REGIONAL ATLANTIC SALMON RETURNS The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea uses five regions for its assessment of wild Atlantic salmon returns to North America, and a sixth, St-Pierre et Miquelon for harvests only. 1 NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Note: Fisheries and Oceans Canada has implemented a precautionary approach to Atlantic salmon management in Newfoundland and Labrador. A zonal assessment that informs management decisions has replaced the old singular conservation limit. • Of the 24 rivers assessed in Newfoundland and Labrador in 2019, 10 showed declines compared to average returns over the previous 2 generations of salmon, equal to 12-years. In seven of those ten rivers, population declines were greater than 30%. • In total, 10 of the 24 rivers assessed were found to be in the cri tic al zone , 3 in the cautious zone , 6 healthy, 2 straddling the cautious/healthy boundary, and 3 at the critical/cautious boundary.
