Fleischman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical escapement and run size of fall chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta was reconstructed from incomplete sonar, weir, counting tower, mark-recapture, aerial survey, and foot survey data of varying precision from 1974 to 2007. The resulting estimates of drainage-wide escapement were fitted to an age-structured Ricker spawner-recruit model. Bayesian statistical methods were employed, which allowed for realistic assessment of uncertainty in the presence of measurement error, serial correlation, and missing data.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An age-structured state-space spawner–recruit model was fit to estimates of relative and absolute abundance, harvest, and age composition for Copper River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from 1980 to 2018. Bayesian statistical methods were employed to assess uncertainty in the presence of measurement error, serial correlation, and missing data. Ricker spawner–recruit parameters and management reference points were estimated, including the escapement that provides for maximum sustained yield (SMSY). An additional analysis was performed on a subset of data from 1999 to 2018 that used only mark–recapture estimates of escapement and excluded abundance indices used in the full data set. The full data set produced an SMSY of 22,844 spawners (95% credibility interval of 12,920–84,942 spawners) and the 1999–2018 data set produced an SMSY of 26,951 spawners (95% credibility interval of 15,371–98,262 spawners). Different results may be partially explained by differences in data structure and may also indicate reduced productivity in more recent years. It is important to note that many escapements observed since 1999 were greater than those observed prior to 1999 and the increased contrast in observed escapements increased information and our understanding of true underlying stock production. After examining both analyses, it is recommended that a sustainable escapement goal range of 21,000 to 31,000 fish be adopted for Copper River Chinook salmon. Escapement is evaluated by subtracting estimates of inriver harvest from estimates of inriver abundance. Escapements within this range have a high probability of producing sustainable yields.

Book excerpt: After decades of using the DFO mark-recapture border program as the sole U.S./Canada border passage estimator oil the Yukon River, the cooperative ADF&G-NOAA drainage-wide radio telemetry project and ADF&G-DFO sonar projects provided independent estimates of border passage for 2002-2004 and 2005- 2007, respectively. Marked and variable differences between the annual DFO mark-recapture estimates and estimates derived from radio telemetry and sonar projects strongly suggests that the DFO mark- recapture estimate was biased low and a new sonar-based escapement goal was necessary. An exploratory analysis was initiated to reconstruct the historic drainage escapement database and make it compatible with new sonar-based escapement estimates. Analyses were conducted that ranged from simple scaling of historical data to more robust regression models. Seventeen escapement databases were created through these analyses. Ultimately, four escapement databases, reconstructed from drainage escapements derived from radio telemetry and sonar projects (2002-2007) and regressed against escapement indices, were considered viable candidates. A secondary goal of these analyses was to investigate potential escapement goal ranges based oil the viable escapement databases. Interestingly, all Sustainable Escapement Goal (SEG) ranges and Marcov Table analysis indicated similar escapement goals for all four reconstructed escapement database scenarios. Spawner-recruit statistics were also very similar. Therefore, two escapement goal recommendations were suggested: 1) Set a conservative escapement goal range that reflected all escapement database scenarios, 40,000 to 60,000 Chinook salmon, and 2) Do not select a reconstructed escapement database for the period 1982-2001, but build on the current escapement database derived from radio-telemetry estimates (2002-2004) and sonar counts (2005-present).

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current sustainable escapement goal (700,000–1,200,000) for Kenai River late-run sockeye salmon was established in 2011. For this escapement goal review, the escapement time series and production data were updated through 2018. The fit of 6 spawner–recruit models to data from brood years 1968–2012 and brood years 1979–2012 was examined. Although the classic Ricker model was determined the most appropriate to use given the data, all brood years were estimated to have replaced themselves, which compromised obtaining accurate and precise estimates of most model parameter estimates and biological reference points, including a scientifically defensible estimate of maximum sustained yield. Markov-type yield tables were constructed to evaluate yields at different levels of escapement. We recommend the sustainable escapement goal for Kenai River late-run sockeye salmon be revised to 750,000–1,300,000 fish because the analyses indicated escapements in this range will likely provide better yields.

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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Age-structured state-space spawner-recruit models were fit to 1986-2015 data on abundance, harvest, and age composition for early and late runs of Kenai River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), 75 cm mid eye to tail fork (METF) and longer. Historical annual run abundance, stock recruitment parameters, and fishery management reference points were estimated from these models. Sustainable Escapement Goals of 2,800-5,600 (early run) and 13,500-27,000 (late run) Chinook salmon 75 cm METF and longer are recommended, and their attributes and limitations discussed. Fish 75 cm METF (approximately 33.3 in total length) and longer can be assessed directly by imaging sonar in the Kenai River at river mile 13.7.

Download or read book Susitna River Chinook Salmon Run Reconstruction and Escapement Goal Analysis written by Adam M. Reimer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Susitna River drains approximately 52,000 square kilometers of the southern slopes of the Alaska Range and the Talkeetna mountains. This watershed supports wild populations of all 5 species of Pacific salmon and vibrant sport fisheries when production allows. Chinook salmon spawning escapements have been monitored since the late 1970s by aerial survey and a weir has been used to count returning adults on the Deshka River (a tributary) since 1995. The Deshka River is currently managed by an escapement goal based on weir passage whereas several other spawning populations are managed using escapement goals based only on once-per-year aerial surveys. Other fishery data, such as inriver and marine harvest estimates, age estimates, recent mark–recapture abundance estimates, and spawner distribution data are also available. We present a state-space model that incorporates all available datasets to generate annual inriver and spawning escapement abundance estimates of 4 stocks of Susitna River Chinook salmon. These stocks were created by dividing the drainage into geographical units similar to existing management units used in Alaska Department of Fish and Game sport fishing regulations: Deshka River, Eastside Susitna, Talkeetna River, and Yentna River. The state-space model estimates a spawner-recruitment (S-R) relationship for each stock that is used in developing escapement goal recommendations based on the number of spawners that provide maximum sustained yield (SMSY). SMSY was estimated for each stock: 12,564 for Deshka River; 12,971 for Eastside Susitna; 10,570 for Talkeetna River; and 13,614 for Yentna River. We used a decision matrix to choose escapement goals based on the probability of achieving maximum sustained yield for the 4 stocks. We recommend discontinuing escapement goals for individual spawning populations within these stocks and replacing them with stock-based escapement goals of 9,000–18,000 for Deshka River, 13,000–25,000 for Eastside Susitna, 9,000–17,500 for Talkeetna River, and 13,000–22,000 for Yentna River stocks.

Book excerpt: Age analysis for 22 years (1980 excluded) showed that the overall percentages for female spawners was 53% (4-year olds), 38% (3-year olds), and 9% (5-year olds). The age composition of male spawners showed a high degree of variability throughout the study. Male chinook of age 2, 3 and 4 were dominant annually, but 5- and 6- year old fish were present in most spawning seasons. All chinook carcasses from which scales were collected were also measured for length (over 120 samples in 22 years). Decreases in mean length were documented for all age classes for each of the El Nino episodes that occurred during the study (1982-1984; 1992-1993; 1997-1998). The decreases in mean length appeared to carry forward for each cohort's age class. The total number of chinook redds was tabulated by counting "fresh" redds during weekly spawning surveys. The mean number of redds was 117 for the 23-year period with a mean of 0.9 redds per adult salmon or 1.8 redds per female.
