Response of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Populations to a Fishery

A. L. Jensen

Abstract

From data in the literature, life tables are calculated for seven different brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations and used to study the mechanisms that reestablish the balance of births and deaths upset by fishing. It appears that a change in age-specific fecundity is the compensatory mechanism in brook trout.
