Abstract

This paper summarizes information on angling and food fisheries catch statistics for Labrador in 2002 along with environmental data collected at gauging stations on selected rivers. Total return information was summarised from counting facilities. Food fisheries in Labrador recorded landings of 7,242 Atlantic salmon weighing 17,572 kg. Landings recorded by the angling fishery were 1,815 small salmon retained, 5,057 small salmon released, 202 large salmon retained and 1,084 large salmon released. In general, water levels in Labrador rivers were near average in the spring and low to average throughout most of the summer. Low water continued well into the fall.
