Capelin Spawning Season Newfoundland Labrador

Another year has passed and the Capelin return during spawning season to the shallow waters along the beach at Admiral's Point in Newfoundland Labrador.

After the Capelin have finished spawning and another season comes to an end along the beach at Admiral's Point in Trinity Bay in Newfoundland Labrador, many of the fish are left for the predators. A majority of the male Capelin will die after spawning as the shallow water and currents can cause these fish too much damage, while some of the females survive and continue on.
