  • Why Aren't There More Atlantic Salmon (Salmo Salar)?
    281 Why aren’t there more Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)? Donna L. Parrish, Robert J. Behnke, Stephen R. Gephard, Stephen D. McCormick, and Gordon H. Reeves Abstract: Numbers of wild anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have declined demonstrably throughout their native range. The current status of runs on rivers historically supporting salmon indicate widespread declines and extirpations in Europe and North America primarily in southern portions of the range. Many of these declines or extirpations can be attributed to the construction of mainstem dams, pollution (including acid rain), and total dewatering of streams. Purported effects on declines during the 1960s through the 1990s include overfishing, and more recently, changing ocean conditions, and intensive aquaculture. Most factors affecting salmon numbers do not act singly, but rather in concert, which masks the relative contribution of each factor. Salmon researchers and managers should not look for a single culprit in declining numbers of salmon, but rather, seek solutions through rigorous data gathering and testing of multiple effects integrated across space and time. Résumé : Les effectifs de saumon de l’Atlantique (Salmo salar) sauvage anadrome ont diminué notablement dans toute l’aire de répartition naturelle de l’espèce. On a observé des baisses étendues et même la disparition des remontes dans les rivières à saumon en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, surtout dans les parties méridionales de l’aire de répartition de l’espèce. Bon nombre de ces déclins ou de ces disparitions sont attribuables à la construction de barrages sur les cours principaux des rivières, à la pollution (notamment aux pluies acides) et à l’assèchement complet de certains cours d’eau.

As New Brunswickers, much of our heritage and sense of belonging comes from our connection with the environments in which we live and work. Repeatedly, public surveys have shown we value biodiversity and place a high level of importance on maintaining a healthy environment for ourselves and future generations. Here in New Brunswick we are fortunate to live in a place and at a time when most of our native plants, animals and ecosystems, both managed and wild, are healthy. As such, now is an opportune time to be conservation minded as we work together to achieve self-sufficiency and tackle the challenges of climate change. Hon. Shawn Graham Premier of New Brunswick As Premier, I am proud to lead a government that has put in place a strategy to ensure biodiversity will be considered in our decision making. The New Brunswick Biodiversity Strategy establishes achievable biodiversity conservation and sustainable use goals and outcomes for our province. It sets in place a framework to facilitate coordinated and collaborative approaches to achieving common goals so that we will be able to address conservation and sustainable use issues in balance with the need for economic and social development.

  • The Emergence of the Pulp and Paper Industry in New Brunswick, 1918-1931
    BILL PARENTEAU The Woods Transformed: The Emergence of the Pulp and Paper Industry in New Brunswick, 1918-1931 JAMES BAXTER STOOD ON THE PODIUM at Grand Falls on 10 August 1926, overlooking the assembled crowd who had come to witness the commencement of construction at the hydro-power site. Baxter began by noting the "passing of the long lumber industry" and the impending development of pulp and paper manufacturing in New Brunswick. The inevitability of such a transformation had evidently become clear to Baxter years earlier in a dream-like sequence in Montreal, at the printing room of La Presse: "Partly closing my eyes, I could vision the forest. Looking again, I saw the newspapers rushing from the press by hundreds, until the two visions seemed to blend, and I could almost see a tree transform itself into the printed sheet". It had been "no small task to bring together all of the agencies required for this development", the premier admitted, as "[a]t the outset we found our friends at the International wishing to keep the entire field to themselves". But in the end, Baxter believed, the interests of the province and investors had been successfully reconciled and the policy of the government would be vindicated by the developments that were to follow. His concluding remarks reaffirmed the guiding principles of Conservative industrial policy: "Outside capital begins today to work for us. It asks nothing but the opportunity to do work under fair conditions. May I impress upon you as the policy of this Province, that such capital has a right to expect good faith and fair dealing on the part of the government and the people.
