Description:
The committee addressed terms of reference established at the previous (1988) meeting. Stocking data, listed by age/life stage and river, and tagging data were presented for all New England programs. A total of 5,487,700 juvenile salmon were stocked; of which 706,900 carried coded wire tags (CWTs) or Carlin tags. Adult salmon returns were listed by river, origin, smolt age, and sea age. A total of 3,605 salmon were documented to have returned to all U.S. rivers in 1989. That number includes a complete tally for all programs except the Maine rivers. The numbers for Maine rivers include only trap and angling catches. A total of 625 fish with CWTs and 193 fish with Carlin tags returned to U.S. rivers. The angling catch of the state of Maine was reported at 1,007 fish. No angling catches occurred in other river systems.
