years Atlantic salmon introduced to Credit For the first time in over years the fish native to this area the Atlantic salmon will swim in the Credit Hi The Ministry of Natural Resources has decided lo stock Ihe Credit River with of the cold water fish The fish were wiped out In the late when dams blocked their migration up river Overfishing and poor water quality also contributed to the Atlantic salmons demise in the waters of the Credit said Ken Owen Manager of Land Resources for the Credit River Conservation Authority The Ministry of Natural Resources and the CVCA did water testing in 1907 and found conditions table lor Allan In I non pro duction said a report prepared by the CVCA In certain areas the water temperature approached the upper limits for species but there is suitable cover and food for the salmon Ten thousand salmon w II be released at Inglewood and between Terra Cotta and Glen Williams later this month Currently Pacific salmon Coho and Chinook nhnbil the Credit Itivcr but they arc not indigenous to the area said Mr Owen The Brown Rainbow trout and salmon were all Introduced Into the system The salmon stocked this month are expected to remain in the Credit River for one or two years then migrate downstream to Lake On They will feed and grow for bet ween one and years In Lake Onto no before returning lo the tlllvcrtospown Unlike Chinook and salmon Atlantic salmon can survive the spawning run and eventually return the lake Mr Owen expects the earliest return to the river after they migrntt Lake Ontario to be about 1991 They will likely be protected In so anglers will have to wait a few years to fish for the salmon Mr Owen The idea Is to establish a self sustaining population of Atlantic salmon in the Credit Itivcr said Mr Owen He said it will likely take hundreds of thousands of fish slocked over a of o that Mr Owen said the Atlantic Salmon will likely make their habitat In the middle lo upper ranges of he Credit River in bet ween ihe trout up

barrier which generates an electrical field across the river will likely be used to prevent competition between the Atlantic salmon and the trout fishery above Inglewood the CVCA report soys
