Abstract
The effects of winter and summer river discharge on the survival of eggs and underyearlings of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were examined in six rivers of Newfoundland and New Burnswick where stock–recruitment relationships were available. There were positive relationships between either winter discharge or temperature and survival of underyearling salmon for five rivers. For all rivers combined, survival and winter discharge were related (P < 0.05). The hypothesis that summer discharge was unrelated to survival could not be rejected. However, there was evidence that summer discharge enhances survival in the Miramichi and Northwest Miramichi rivers of New Brunswick.
