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 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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF & G) convened an Escapement Goal Review Team to review salmon escapement goals for the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Region in preparation for the January 2007 meeting of the Alaska Board of Fisheries. To support that effort, salmon escapement data and abundance information for the Kuskokwim Area were updated through 2005 and are represented here. From our review of Kuskokwim data we recommend biological escapement goals (BEG) for chinook and sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and O. nerka, in the Middle Fork Goodnews River; sustainable escapement goals (SEG) for chinook salmon in the George, Kwethluk, and Tuluksak Rivers; a revised SEG for Aniak River chum salmon O. keta; and that SEGs based on aerial surveys be discontinued for chinook salmon in the Kwethluk and coho salmon, O. kisutch, in the Kanektok River. This report also summarizes much of the historical salmon escapement information for the Kuskokwim Area, but in a manner that is intended to focus on the needs for assessing inter-annual trends for escapement goals. This intent is achieved through an extensive series of appendices that present historical escapement information in a standardized manner. The main body of appendices is preceded by narrative that provides context useful in interpreting the information in the appendices. In many cases data sets in the appendices are truncated in order to address standardization needs. As such, investigators seeking more complete information should consult master escapement files maintained by ADF & G, original aerial survey forms, and detailed project reports.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes statewide Pacific salmon escapement goals in effect in 2020 and documents escapements for all species and stocks with goals from 2012 through 2020. In addition, this report documents changes in escapement goals for both 2019 and 2020 because the report was not published in 2020 due to extenuating circumstances associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Annual escapements are compared against escapement goals in place at the time to assess outcomes, with summaries by the Division of Commercial Fisheries regions. We list methods used to enumerate escapements and to develop current escapement goals (with brief descriptions) for each monitored stock. Leading up to the 2018/2019 Board of Fisheries meeting cycle, escapement goals were reviewed for the Bristol Bay, Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim, Alaska Peninsula/Aleutian Islands, and Chignik Management Areas. As a result of these reviews, there were 29 escapement goal changes in 2019, including the elimination of 10 goals. The remaining changes were due to updates to escapement indices and/or goal development methods. There were no changes to any escapement goals in the Chignik Management Area. For the 2019/2020 Board of Fisheries meeting cycle, escapement goals were reviewed for Upper Cook Inlet, Lower Cook Inlet, and Kodiak Management Areas. As a result of these reviews, there were 32 escapement goal changes in Upper Cook Inlet that included establishing 4 new escapement goals and eliminating 12 goals. There were no escapement goal changes for Lower Cook Inlet. Because of these revisions, there were 272 salmon escapement goals in Alaska in 2019 and 264 escapement goals in 2020. In 2019, 78% of the escapement goals in Alaska were met or exceeded and 22% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals. In 2020, 65% of the escapement goals were met or exceeded and 35% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.

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: 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.
