These networks provide current data on two key marine species in the St. Lawrence: the capelin and eelgrass. |
We often went down on a Sunday to scoop up basinfuls of capelin when they washed ashore. |
Yet there are thousands of jobs and man-hours in this province where the capelin fishery is carried out. |
Larger salmon eat a variety of fishes such as herring and alewives, smelts, capelin, small mackerel, sand lace, and small cod. |
Others are saying that to help replenish what's out there in the offshore, one of the things you could do is cut or curtail the capelin fishery. |
These data generally confirm that capelin spawns on sandy or fine gravel beaches. |
