Fish Stocking in Prince Edward Island
Restoring quality fish habitat is the first step towards
improving the sport fishery in P.E.I. However,
fish stocking is also an important tool in fisheries
management. Historically, brook trout, Atlantic
salmon and rainbow trout were stocked in rivers
across Prince Edward Island. Currently, brook trout
broodstock are collected annually from five regions:
Mill River/Trout River, Wilmot/Dunk, West River,
Morell River and Brudenell/Cardigan rivers. The
offspring of these fish are available to stock in rivers
to compensate for intensive angling activity (e.g.
Morell River), to assist recovery in rivers affected by
fish kills (e.g. Dunk River, Tryon River) and to provide
angling opportunities in specific locations (e.g. urban
ponds).
Atlantic salmon broodstock are also collected
annually and young salmon (fingerlings) are stocked
into selected rivers to provide angling opportunities,
for example Morell River, and in other rivers to assist
in the recovery of salmon populations (e.g. North
River, Souris River).
Rainbow trout are periodically stocked into
Glenfinnan Lake and O’Keefe’s Lake in support of a
rainbow trout fishery.
