During July and August 1980 electroseining techniques were used to conduct spot-check surveys throughout the Miramichi River system to determine the presence or absence of juvenile salmon in some of the small feeder streams The surveys were conducted in Northumberland and York counties on some of the smaller streams which enter the Miramichi River proper or some of its major tributaries This report includes data on habitat substrate and water characteristics at each site and on fish species present in sites electrofished

Key words Miramichi River system electroseining spot-checks juvenile salmon other species feeder streams substrate and water characteristics

INTRODUCTION

1ltlC LroscinlrHI nperiltions have been COlldll(t o d lh rOIllholl t Lhe fn~shwi LAr reaches or the Mirllmiehi River system northeastern New flrllllswick to assess populiltion densities of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Sd l mo s~l~r) and other fish species present in known salmon-producing streams (Peppar and Schofield 1978 Schofielrl and Peppar 1979) These operations were conducted primarily to determine relative spawning success in relation to increased or decreased escapement of adult salmon to the river system With this objective in mind operations each year have concentratcrl on the repetition of sites Aunpleltl in previolls years

In 1900 iln clnctroseining spot-check proj ri1II WilS conltiucte(l to asscss some of the SHIft I 1 Miramichi feeder streams not covererl lmller the juveni Ie assessment program The objectives of this sampling were to establish the presence or absence of juvenile salmon determine the ratio of salmon to other species determine age-classes of salmon by length-frequency ilnd (1ocument basic physical chemical and biological data within sampling areas lata obtainerl incll1r1ed stream and bottom charncteriatics (such as wirlth depth hottom type and composition extent of

habitat types and extent of shade) water characteristics (conductivity and temperature) extent and dimensions of obstructions (such as natural falls beaver dams and highway CUlverts) in the immediate area of sampling sites and fish species present

SCOPE OF OPERATIONS

A total of 32 streams (25 in Northumberland County and 7 in York County) were sampled during the period 14 Ju1-19 Aug 1980 Most of them were inaccessible for much of their lengths thus sampling sites had to be selected in areas having access by standard vehicle In most cases sites selected were near the mouths of streams

METHODS AND STANDARDS USED

Species captured in electroseining spot-checks are listed below They were the most commonly-captured (or in most cases exclusively captured) representatives of each species-group encountered in the catches Common and scientific names given are those recommended by the American Fisheries Society (1970)

INTRODUCTION

1ltlC LroscinlrHI nperiltions have been COlldll(t o d lh rOIllholl t Lhe fn~shwi LAr reaches or the Mirllmiehi River system northeastern New flrllllswick to assess populiltion densities of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Sd l mo s~l~r) and other fish species present in known salmon-producing streams (Peppar and Schofield 1978 Schofielrl and Peppar 1979) These operations were conducted primarily to determine relative spawning success in relation to increased or decreased escapement of adult salmon to the river system With this objective in mind operations each year have concentratcrl on the repetition of sites Aunpleltl in previolls years

In 1900 iln clnctroseining spot-check proj ri1II WilS conltiucte(l to asscss some of the SHIft I 1 Miramichi feeder streams not covererl lmller the juveni Ie assessment program The objectives of this sampling were to establish the presence or absence of juvenile salmon determine the ratio of salmon to other species determine age-classes of salmon by length-frequency ilnd (1ocument basic physical chemical and biological data within sampling areas lata obtainerl incll1r1ed stream and bottom charncteriatics (such as wirlth depth hottom type and composition extent of

habitat types and extent of shade) water characteristics (conductivity and temperature) extent and dimensions of obstructions (such as natural falls beaver dams and highway CUlverts) in the immediate area of sampling sites and fish species present

SCOPE OF OPERATIONS

A total of 32 streams (25 in Northumberland County and 7 in York County) were sampled during the period 14 Ju1-19 Aug 1980 Most of them were inaccessible for much of their lengths thus sampling sites had to be selected in areas having access by standard vehicle In most cases sites selected were near the mouths of streams

METHODS AND STANDARDS USED

Species captured in electroseining spot-checks are listed below They were the most commonly-captured (or in most cases exclusively captured) representatives of each species-group encountered in the catches Common and scientific names given are those recommended by the American Fisheries Society (1970)
