The field surveys included those streams of Resti- gouche County entering Chaleur Bay south of the town of Dalhousie, and those streams of Gloucester County entering both Chaleur Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, south to the Northumberland County line. This area encompasses Fisheries Statistical Districts 63-68 (Fig. 1). A total of 35 streams (13 in Restigouche County and 22 in Gloucester County) was examined. On each stream, attempts were made to document area potentials by selecting accessible sites and gathering various physical, chemical and biological data. Data obtained included: stream and bottom characteristics (width, depth, bottom type and composition, extent of habitat types, extent of shade, aquatic vegetation, etc.); water characteristics (pH, conductivity, alkalinity, hardness and temperature); location, extent and dimensions of obstructions (natural falls, dams, etc.); and fish species present (by "spot- check" electrofishing). To supplement field data, information on characteristics such as mainstream length, was obtained from various published sources and/or directly from maps or charts. METHODS AND STANDARDS USED Name of Stream: Name given in Gazetteer of Canada - New Brunswick. Location of Stream: Location given in Gazetteer of Canada - New Brunswick. Length of Stream: Continuous flow, mainstream only. Sampling Site: Size of each sampling site chosen to include approximately 280-360 m2 (350-450 yd2). Length: One measurement, taken in mid-stream, from upper limit to lower limit of each sampling site. Width: Average of three measurements taken over the length of stream examined at each sampling site (upper and lower limits, and mid-point). Depth: Average of three measurements taken at upper and lower limits, and mid-point, over length of stream examined at each sampling site. "Left" and "right", as defined when facing downstream. 2 Bottom Composition: (particle size defined by Harrington and Dunham 1967), Bedrock Slate Boulder (rocks >30.5 cm diameter) Rubble (rocks 7.6-30.5 cm diameter) Gravel (rocks 0.3-7.6 cm diameter) Sand and Silt (particles <0.3 cm diameter) Mud Hardpan (hard deposits of clay) Detritus (leaves, twigs, bark, etc.) Debris (rubbish, litter, etc.) Distance References: Measured from mouth of stream, unless stated otherwise. Water Temperature and Conductivity: Measured with a YSI Model 33 S-C-T meter. Alkalinity; Hardness and pH: Measured with Hach kits, Models CA-24WR and AL-AP. Measurements of alkalinity and hardness are in terms of CaCO3 and recorded in grains/gallon (gpg). Electrofishing: Conducted with a Dirigo Series 550 Electrofisher. STREAM DATA Data on the individual stream surveys are presented in the following pages. The order of presentation is from west to east, then southward, around the northeast coast of the province (Fig. 1). Locations of sampling sites are indicated on the individual river maps by the symbol (o). FIG. 1. Key map of northeastern New Brunswick area, showing locationsrof streams surveyed.

  • 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.

  • New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan
    New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture December 14 2007 Executive Summary The New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (NB-EHJV) was established in 1989 to implement the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) in New Brunswick through a partnership of federal, provincial and regional conservation organizations. The NB-EHJV Five Year Implementation Plan to be known as the Plan is an update of the 1989 – 2004 NB Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Implementation Plan. The Plan outlines the current status of wetland habitats and waterfowl populations in New Brunswick and presents waterfowl population goals and habitat conservation targets for the next five years. The Plan is a blueprint for the conservation of important breeding, staging and wintering waterfowl habitat in New Brunswick. It describes the habitat conservation program the NB- EHJV partnership will employ to achieve the waterfowl population objectives, the methods for program assessment and the resource needs. Though this Plan may benefit other bird species, it does not explicitly address the objectives for the other bird Pillars of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI). The Plan will address 15% (1,105 IBP) of the 7,600 IBP population deficit for dabbling ducks (American black duck, Mallard, green-winged teal, ring-necked duck) in NB through the enhancement or restoration of 1,380 hectares of wetlands and the active management of 13,901 hectares of wetlands to optimum waterfowl brood rearing conditions. A nest box program will be used to increase wood duck and common goldeneye.

In January 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia announced that Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd. had been awarded the opportunity to construct a tidal energy testing and research facility in the Minas Basin, known as the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Facility. This Facility will be managed by a non-profit corporation called FORCE. The objectives of this study are twofold; - to undertake a broad MEKS study for the Bay of Fundy Phase I Area as it may relate to future renewable energy projects i.e. wind, tidal and wave, specifically in Phase 1 area of the Bay of Fundy ( as identified in MGC Proposal - Minas Channel and Minas Basin), and - to undertake a more focused MEKS review specific to the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project area which would consider the land and water area potentially affected by the project, identify what is the Mi’kmaq traditional use activity that has or is currently taking place within the Project Site and Study Area and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the Project Site and Study Area.

  • Ices/ Icnaf Joint Investigation; On; North Atlantic Salmon
    5 Rapp. P.-v. Réun. Cons. int. Explor. Mer, 176: 5. 1979. FOREWORD The concern generated within the main Atlantic salmon producing countries in the North Atlantic following the rapid growth of the West Greenland salmon fishery in the early 1960s, and the great scientific interest in gaining more knowledge of salmon during its sea phase led to steps being taken by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) and the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) at their Annual Meetings in 1965 to organize an international scientific appraisal of this fishery development, with special reference to its effects on the salmon stocks and fisheries in home waters. A scientific Working Party, the ICES/ICNAF Joint Working Party on North Atlantic Salmon, with member­ ship from all North Atlantic countries with Atlantic salmon interests was established to undertake this task. The first meeting of the Working Party was held in 1966 and subsequent meetings were held each year thereafter up to 1974, their results being reported to the Annual Meetings of ICNAF and ICES respectively (ICES Cooperative Research Report Nos. 8, 12, 24, and 35 and Document CM 1974/M: 2). At the time when the Working Party was established, little was known about the biology of the Atlantic salmon during its sea phase. Hence, in addition to the collection of information on the characteristics and development of the West Greenland fishery itself, one of the Working Party’s most important tasks was the development of coordinated data collection and research programmes on aspects of its biology and population dynamics, especially those of direct relevance to the assessment of fishery effects.
