Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar ) of the Leaf River, Ungava Bay
The Leaf River supports the most northerly known population of anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Canada. River growth averaged 40–50 mm/yr, smolts averaged 258 mm fork length (range 190–300 mm) and 5.3 yr (range 4+ to 7+). Many males matured in fresh water and either incurred heavy mortali...
