We are actually assessing an anadromous Rainbow Smelt (Osmerus mordax)
population with common fisheries parameters such as CPUE, sex-ratio, length
distribution/age/sex and mean age, length, weight. The sampling was done on
two spawning sites during springtime.
   Does anyone have availiable data or results dealing with assessment 
studies for this species in order to compare our results for the St-
Lawrence River Smelt population.

     Thanks in advance.
