  Chaleur Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chaleur Bay or the Bay of Chaleur (French baie des Chaleurs) is an arm of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence separating Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula from New Brunswick's North Shore.
The wide mouth of the Restigouche River is formed at the western-most (upper) end of the bay.
The bay is host to an unusual visual phenomenon, the Phantom Ship of the Bay of Chaleur, an apparition of sorts resembling a ship on fire which appears all over the Bay.

The objectives of this study were, first, to assess the usefulness of otolith microstructure analysis to examine winter size-selective mortality of young-of-the-year (YOY) Atlantic salmon and, secondly, to validate various hypotheses relating to the dynamics of two populations with different winter survival.
By examining otolith microstructure, we back-calculated body size at hatching and at emergence of YOY salmon sampled in fall 2000 and in early summer 2001 on the Petite Cascapédia River and the Bonaventure River (Québec, Canada).
The results of the study did not reveal any size-selective mortality of YOY salmon in the Petite Cascapédia River, while in the Bonaventure River, size-selective mortality of the smaller individuals of the cohort was detected.
