The escape of juvenile farmed Atlantic salmon from hatcheries into freshwater streams in New Brunswick, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The escape of juvenile Atlantic salmon from freshwater hatcheries supplying the salmon farming industry may lead to interactions between wild and farmed fish. The scale of this problem, however, has not been examined in detail. We monitored temporal trends in the abundance of escaped juvenile farmed salmon in the Magaguadavic River and Chamcook Stream for several years. In addition, in 2004 we assessed more than 90% of the commercial hatcheries producing salmon smolts located next to freshwater streams in New Brunswick. Escaped juvenile fish were recorded in 75% of the streams electrofished close to hatcheries. Numbers varied by site and year. However, escaped juvenile salmon were found every year at sites near hatcheries in the Magaguadavic River and Chamcook Stream. In the Magaguadavic River, juvenile escapees outnumbered wild salmon parr in most years. These results highlight the need for implementation of a containment strategy for freshwater hatcheries to reduce escapes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
