Atlantic Salmon Enumeration – Muddy Bay & Southwest Brooks

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has a requirement to conduct smolt and/or adult Atlantic salmon enumeration activities. This will involve the installation, operation and removal of a counting fence as well as associated scientific sampling activities. Depending on environmental conditions, these activities will occur from mid-April/early May through August on a daily basis. However, it should be noted that in some years for some facilities there may be a time period between the smolt and adult activities where no operations are required. An operational schedule will be agreed upon at the start of the contracting period between the contractor and the Scientific Authority. Contractor must be willing to provide services during various hours, if required. DFO will make site visits during adult salmon enumeration activities and provide guidance and advice with respect to project operations. Contractor should be familiar with project operations and be capable of completing all required operations and maintenance without DFO assistance.
