Atlantic Salmon Smolt Data from the Margaree River, Nova Scotia

Atlantic Salmon Smolt Data from the Margaree River, Nova Scotia PURPOSE: To estimate the abundance of Atlantic salmon smolts in the Margaree River watershed. DESCRIPTION: A rotary screw trap (RST; also known as a smolt wheel) is used to perform a capture-mark-recapture experiment on the main stem of the Margaree River. Smolts are captured at the wheel, a subset are tagged (max 200 individuals daily) and released upriver. Individuals not tagged are enumerated and released at the wheel. A fraction of tagged individuals are recaptured at the wheel. Trap efficiency and smolt abundance can be calculated from this data. USE LIMITATION: To ensure scientific integrity and appropriate use of the data, we would encourage you to contact the data custodian. 2025-03-19 Fisheries and Oceans Canada DFO.GLFCSA-CASGLF.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyAnimals/VertebratesSalmo salarFishGulf of St. Lawrence Dataset - Atlantic Salmon Smolt Data, Margaree RiverCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/a5751ef8-78dd-11ee-bd12-d17b9d44bf6a/attachments/rst_dataset.csv Supplementary citation listPDF https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/a5751ef8-78dd-11ee-bd12-d17b9d44bf6a/attachments/a5751ef8%20references.pdf Data Dictionary - Atlantic Salmon Smolt Data, Margaree RiverXLSX https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/a5751ef8-78dd-11ee-bd12-d17b9d44bf6a/attachments/rst_data_dictionary.xlsx Atlantic Salmon Smolt Data, Margaree RiverESRI REST https://egisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/open_data_donnees_ouvertes/atlantic_salmon_smolt_data_from_margaree_river_nova_scotia_en/MapServer Atlantic Salmon Smolt Data, Margaree RiverESRI REST https://egisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/open_data_donnees_ouvertes/atlantic_salmon_smolt_data_from_margaree_river_nova_scotia_fr/MapServer
