Fish Count in Postville (Audio to be added later)

The English River Fish Count in Postville was near completion for this summer last week.

Glen Sheppard is the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources for Nunatsiavut.

We spoke with Sheppard last Thursday, and he says the crew were at the river dismantling the fence for counting salmon and char.

He says there has been an increase of small and larger salmon going up the river this summer compared to last summer, which he added was same with the count of char.

Sheppard says during the fish count salmon scales samples are also taken for biological purpose for DFO.

He says the samples are used to determine the health and the age of the salmon.

Stay tuned to AtjiKangitut to hear Sheppard join us to talk about the English River Fish Count near Postville.
