This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), actively manages chum salmon fisheries in the Yukon River drainage. The purpose of the Anvik River sonar project is to monitor escapement of summer chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta and pink salmon O. gorbuscha in the Anvik River drainage, believed to be the largest producer of summer chum salmon in the Yukon River drainage (Hayes et al. 2008, Larson et al. 2017). Timely and accurate reporting of information from the Anvik River sonar project helps Yukon River fishery managers ensure the Anvik River Biological Escapement Goal (BEG) of 350,000 to 700,000 summer chum salmon is met (ADF&G 2004). This assessment is necessary to determine if summer chum salmon abundance will meet downstream harvest and upstream escapement needs. Fishery openings and closures may be based in part upon this assessment. This project uses imaging sonar equipment on the Anvik River to generate timely, in-season passage estimates of salmon (Brodersen 2021). Beach seine sampling is conducted to collect biological data used in characterizing the summer chum salmon run and tower estimates are used to apportion passage estimates to species. The project site is located approximately 76 km upstream from the mouth of the Anvik River (Figures 1 and 2) and is scheduled to operate continuously from approximately June 16 through July 26, 2023.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) interdivisional escapement goal review committee (committee) reviewed 41 escapement goals for Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. stocks in Lower Cook Inlet (LCI). Escapement goals were reviewed based on the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222) and the Policy for Statewide Salmon Escapement Goals (5 AAC 39.223) adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries into regulation in 2001. All of the existing goals were adopted in 2017, except for 1 chum salmon O. keta stock (McNeil River, adopted 2007) and 2 sockeye salmon O. nerka stocks (Bear and English Bay Lakes, adopted 2001). Except for 2 Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha stocks (Anchor and Ninilchik Rivers) and 4 sockeye salmon stocks (English Bay, Bear, Mikfik, and Chenik Lakes), salmon escapements in LCI are primarily monitored by single or multiple aerial and/or foot surveys of appropriate stream reaches. The resulting escapement indices do not provide absolute abundance estimates suitable for estimating biological escapement goals (BEG). Consequently, all LCI goals are sustainable escapement goals (SEG). There are no escapement goals for coho salmon O. kisutch in LCI. To improve management flexibility and consistency between management areas in Alaska, the committee supported LCI transitioning from stock-specific SEGs for pink (O. gorbuscha, 18 stocks) and chum (12 stocks) salmon to aggregate escapement goals for each of the 3 LCI districts with commercial fisheries targeting these species (Southern, Outer, and Kamishak). ADF&G will continue managing LCI Chinook (3 stocks) and sockeye (8 stocks) salmon using stock-specific SEGs, with 2 Chinook (Anchor and Ninilchik Rivers) and 2 sockeye salmon (Bear and English Bay Lakes) goals changing during this review period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interdivisional team of staff from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game met beginning in March 2019 to review existing Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) escapement goals in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA) and make recommendations to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish. The KMA salmon escapement goals had been reviewed previously in 2016. The current review team recommends 21 goals remain unchanged, and 1 goal be revised (Olds River coho salmon [O. kisutch] lower bound sustainable escapement goal of 500). In addition, a change in designation from a biological escapement goal to a sustainable escapement goal is recommended for 3 goals (Afognak River sockeye salmon [O. nerka], Upper Station late-run sockeye salmon, and Buskin River coho salmon). When combined with existing escapement goals, these staff recommendations to the directors of the divisions of Commercial and Sport Fisheries result in 22 escapement goals for the KMA in 2019: 12 for sockeye salmon, 2 for Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), 4 for coho salmon, 3 for pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), and 1 for chum salmon (O. keta).

This book was released on 2006 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Alaska Department of Fish and Game Escapement Goal Review Team (review team) was convened to review salmon escapement goals for the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Region in preparation for the January 2007 meeting of the Alaska Board of Fisheries. The review team made recommendations to the Regional Supervisors of the Divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish, who in turn make recommendations to the directors of the two divisions. The review team recommended establishing three new escapement goals in the Kuskokwim Management Area, no new goals in the Yukon Management Area, and two new goals in the Norton Sound-Port Clarence and Kotzebue Management Areas. In addition they recommended revising three escapement goals in the Kuskokwim Management Area (one for Chinook salmon, one for chum salmon, and one for sockeye salmon), none in the Yukon Management Area, and five chum salmon goals in the Kotzebue Management Area. They also recommended discontinuing one aerial survey escapement goal in the Kuskokwim Management Area where that goal was recommended to be replaced with a weir goal. While most of the recommended new goals are sustainable escapement goals, spawner-recruit analyses were performed to recommend biological escapement goals for Kobuk and Noatak rivers chum salmon in the Kotzebue Management Area and Middle Fork Goodnews River Chinook and Sockeye salmon in the Kuskokwim Management Area. The escapement goal review team also made recommendations for specific stocks to be reviewed in detail prior to the 2010 Alaska Board of Fisheries meeting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals for Southeast Alaska in 2014. As specified in the Pacific Salmon Treaty, escapement goal recommendations for transboundary Alsek and Klukshu river Chinook and sockeye salmon runs underwent bilateral U.S./Canada review, and recommended changes were adopted by the Transboundary River Panel of the Pacific Salmon Commission in 2013. Thus, as of 2013, escapement goals were established for 12 Chinook, 14 sockeye, 14 coho, 4 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks. The Southeast escapement goal review committee recommended to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish that all but 5 of those escapement goals remain unchanged. The committee recommended (1) changing the Speel Lake sockeye salmon goal from a biological escapement goal range of 4,00-13,000 fish to a sustainable escapement goal range of 4,000-9,000 fish; (2) changing the Lost River coho salmon goal from a lower-bound sustainable escapement goal of 2,200 fish to a sustainable escapement goal range of 1,400-4,200 fish, and changing the name of the goal to Tawah Creek (Lost River); (3-4) increasing aggregate lower-bound sustainable escapement goals for summer-run chum salmon in the Southern Southeast and Northern Southeast Outside subregions to account for the addition of new index streams to those stock groups; and, finally, (5) changing the Chilkat River fall-run chum salmon sustainable escapement goal range of 75,000-170,000 fish to a range of 75,000-250,000 fish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) escapement goals for the major river systems in Upper Cook Inlet. Escapement goals were reviewed for 21 Chinook salmon, 1 chum salmon, 4 coho salmon, and 9 sockeye salmon stocks. The committee recommended to the Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish division directors updates to 7 Chinook salmon goals (Deshka River, Alexander Creek, Chulitna River, Chuitna River, Theodore River, Little Susitna River, and Crooked Creek), consolidation of 10 Chinook salmon goals into 3 goals (Eastside Susitna, Talkeetna River, and Yentna River), a discontinuation of 11 Chinook salmon goals (Goose Creek, Little Willow Creek, Montana Creek, Sheep Creek, Willow Creek, Clear [Chunilna] Creek, Prairie Creek, Talachulitna River, Lake Creek, Peters Creek, and Lewis River), updates to 3 coho salmon goals (Fish Creek, Jim Creek, and Little Susitna River), and updates to 3 sockeye salmon goals (Kasilof River, Kenai River, and late-run Russian River).

Download or read book Escapement Goal Recommendations for Select Arctic Yukon Kuskokwim Region Salmon Stocks 2019 written by Zachary W. Liller and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) escapement goal review team evaluated salmon stocks in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim (AYK) region in advance of the January 2019 Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) meeting. At the time of this review there existed 65 escapement goals for salmon stocks in the AYK region, including 5 optimum escapement goals established by the BOF. The review team did not recommend any new escapement goals be established at this time. The review team has recommended that 12 escapement goals be revised and 7 escapement goals be discontinued. The recommendations made by the review team were intended to align salmon escapement goals throughout the region with current fishery management practices and status of escapement monitoring programs. Within the Norton Sound-Port Clarence Area, the review team recommended discontinuing the Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 aggregate chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta goal and revising goals for the Eldorado, Nome, and Snake rivers which contribute to the aggregate. Revisions were also recommended for chum salmon goals established for the Kwiniuk and Tubutulik rivers and the sockeye salmon O. nerka goal established for Salmon Lake/Grand Central River. Within the Kotzebue Area, the review team recommended discontinuing the Kotzebue-wide aggregate chum salmon goal and individual chum salmon goals for the Salmon, Squirrel, and Tutuksuk rivers. Additionally, revisions were recommended for the 2 remaining chum salmon escapement goals established for the Noatak and Upper Kobuk/Selby rivers. Within the Yukon Area, the review team recommended discontinuation of the Tanana River fall chum salmon goal and revisions to fall chum salmon goals for the Delta and Chandalar rivers. Within the Kuskokwim Area, the review team recommended discontinuation of the Holitna River Chinook salmon O. tschawytscha aerial survey goal and revised the existing Chinook and sockeye salmon goals for the Middle Fork of Goodnews River.
