ASF Explores High Mortality in Early Part of Migration
-
St Andrews, N.B.— Top researchers with the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) are trying to figure out why wild Atlantic salmon numbers are dropping dramatically once they leave their home rivers and head into saltwater. Jonathan Carr, ASF’s Director of Research and Environment, recently presented his latest scientific findings at the Atlantic Salmon Ecosystems Forum in Orono, Maine. Scientists from across North America gathered to exchange information regarding the latest research on wild Atlantic salmon and their habitat.

Maine Atlantic Salmon Trap Count Statistics
-
Maine Department of Marine Resources, Bureau of Sea-Run Fisheries and Habitat staff conduct routine monitoring of the abundance and status of adult Atlantic salmon and other fish species in many Maine rivers. MDMR Staff operates on the Penobscot River (Milford Dam), Androscoggin River (Brunswick Dam), and Narraguagus River (Cherryfield Dam). Brookfield Renewable Partners operates traps on the Kennebec River (Lockwood Dam), the Union River (Ellsworth Dam), The Penobscot River (Orono Dam) and at two hydroelectric projects on the Saco River (Skelton and Cataract Dams). The St. Croix Waterway Commission operates a trap at the Milltown Dam on the St. Croix River. Benton Falls Associates operates a trap on the Sebasticook River (Benton Falls Dam). Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp operates a trap on the Aroostook River (Tinker Dam). These fish counting facilities are typically operated from May through early November each year. Staff update the statewide trap catch summary weekly or more often during the peak of the fish migrations. The statewide trap catch table includes counts of sea-run salmon captured on Maine rivers and salmon removed from the river as broodstock for restocking of Maine rivers and DOES NOT include captures of aquaculture strays or captive reared adult salmon released from Federal hatcheries.

These juvenile salmon were released into many streams and throughout the mainstem of the river in an effort to restore the once great run of Atlantic salmon to the East Machias River. These fish were raised at the Peter Gray Hatchery located in East Machias at the East Machias Aquatic Research Center (EMARC).
