  • 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.
