Salmon and Trout Objective
•Establish a diverse salmonine community that can sustain an annual harvest of 2.4 million kg with lake trout the dominant species and anadromous(stream-spawning) species also having a prominent role.
•There is international consensus that lake trout should play a prominent role along with other strains of trout and salmon as top predators.
•While the re-establishment of lakewide, self-sustaining populations of lake trout are still an open question, agencies will continue to stock trout and salmon to provide a fishery. You will hear about remnant populations of lake trout today that are self-sustaining in Canadian waters.
