A local fisherman who discovered inner Bay of Fundy (iBoF) salmon in Lake Pisiquid says the find should take the politics out of the decision-making process for fish passage in Windsor.

“The significance of finding an iBoF salmon inside the causeway structure is immense, it verifies that habitat is still being used/needed by this species, it’s now unarguable that iBoF salmon are using this system, and that takes a lot of the politics out of the decision-making process,” said Darren Porter.

“It shows the need for (a proper fish passage), and that fish will make it so without a doubt we will have proper fish passage in Windsor. What that shall be, I have no idea, but that fish changes everything.”
 

Porter, along with study partners from Acadia, were on the lake conducting a spatial and temporal habitat and species assessment of the Avon River July 24 as part of the Windsor causeway study. That’s when they accidently caught the salmon in one of their nets.

Unable to get a scale from the salmon due to risk of causing harm to the fish, which has been considered an endangered species under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) since 2003, Porter said he submitted pictures of the fish to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), who confirmed it was, in fact, an iBoF salmon.
