2020 Atlantic Salmon Counting Fences and Fishways

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science have posted Atlantic salmon counts up to June 28, 2020 from counting fences and fishways that are currently in operation. Some counts will be added in the coming weeks as additional counting fences are installed and operational.

Please note that monitoring activities at some of our facilities have been affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Due to delayed installation of some counting fences and opening of monitoring sites, salmon counts to date on some rivers may appear lower than in previous years in cases where fish moved upstream prior to installation of counting facilities. DFO Science will review the 2020 data after the angling season to determine the effect of these delays on salmon counts.
