Abstract
From 1954 to 1957 haddock within Passamaquoddy Bay have been of intermediate sizes. Few small fish or large fish have been captured either by commercial fishermen or in small-mesh research nets. Tagged fish of the Passamaquoddy Bay region moved out of the Bay during winter and mingled mainly with haddock stocks off the New England States. In the following summer recaptures of tagged fish were again most numerous within Passamaquoddy Bay. Stocks of haddock within the Bay appear to result from annual migrations into the Bay in early summer. It is predicted that the proposed power structures would have no effect on haddock stocks outside the high and low pools but that they would probably seriously reduce the haddock population within the high pool.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
