Electrofishing Data from the Miramichi River, New Brunswick (SFA 16)
PURPOSE:
To track juvenile Atlantic salmon densities.
DESCRIPTION:
Indices of freshwater production are derived annually from electrofishing surveys in the Miramichi River of New Brunswick. Juvenile salmon abundances at sites, in terms of number of fish per habitat area sampled by age or size group (densities), are obtained using successive removal sampling or catch per unit effort sampling calibrated to densities. Sampling intensities vary among years and among rivers.
PARAMETERS COLLECTED:
Species counts (ecological); point (spatial).
USE LIMITATION:
To ensure scientific integrity and appropriate use of the data, we would encourage you to contact the data custodian.
