Book excerpt: The Kogrukluk River is located in the upper Holitna River basin, which is a major tributary of the Kuskokwim River, and produces chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, chum salmon O. keta, sockeye salmon O. nerka, and coho salmon O. kisutch that contribute to intensive subsistence and commercial salmon fisheries downstream. The Kogrukluk River weir is one of several projects operated in the Kuskokwim Area that form an integrated geographic array of escapement monitoring projects. Collectively, and in accordance with the State of Alaska's Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222), this array of projects provides the means to assess escapement trends, which should be monitored consistently and considered in harvest management decisions. Towards this end, Kogrukluk River weir has been operated annually since 1976 to determine daily and total salmon escapements of returning salmon species; to estimate age, sex, and length compositions of Chinook, chum, and coho salmon escapement; to monitor environmental variables that influence salmon productivity; and to contribute to an integrated platform in support of other Kuskokwim Area fisheries projects. In 2006, a fixed-picket weir was operated on the Kogrukluk River from 29 June through 14 September, with a total of 13 inoperable days. In addition to enumerating escapement and estimating ASL composition, the weir served as a platform for several other projects including: Inriver Abundance of Chinook Salmon in the Kuskokwim River, Kuskokwim River Chinook Salmon Run Reconstruction, Kuskokwim River Sockeye Salmon Investigations, Kuskokwim River Salmon Mark-Recapture Project, and collection of pink salmon O. gorbuscha and Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma genetic tissue.

This book was released on 1996-07-31 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of salmon to the Pacific Northwest--economic, recreational, symbolic--is enormous. Generations ago, salmon were abundant from central California through Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to British Columbia and Alaska. Now they have disappeared from about 40 percent of their historical range. The decline in salmon numbers has been lamented for at least 100 years, but the issue has become more widespread and acute recently. The Endangered Species Act has been invoked, federal laws have been passed, and lawsuits have been filed. More than $1 billion has been spent to improve salmon runs--and still the populations decline. In this new volume a committee with diverse expertise explores the complications and conflicts surrounding the salmon problem--starting with available data on the status of salmon populations and an illustrative case study from Washington state's Willapa Bay. The book offers specific recommendations for salmon rehabilitation that take into account the key role played by genetic variability in salmon survival and the urgent need for habitat protection and management of fishing. The committee presents a comprehensive discussion of the salmon problem, with a wealth of informative graphs and charts and the right amount of historical perspective to clarify today's issues, including Salmon biology and geography--their life's journey from fresh waters to the sea and back again to spawn, and their interaction with ecosystems along the way. The impacts of human activities--grazing, damming, timber, agriculture, and population and economic growth. Included is a case study of Washington state's Elwha River dam removal project. Values, attitudes, and the conflicting desires for short-term economic gain and long-term environmental health. The committee traces the roots of the salmon problem to the extractive philosophy characterizing management of land and water in the West. The impact of hatcheries, which were introduced to build fish stocks but which have actually harmed the genetic variability that wild stocks need to survive. This book offers something for everyone with an interest in the salmon issue--policymakers and regulators in the United States and Canada; environmental scientists; environmental advocates; natural resource managers; commercial, tribal, and recreational fishers; and concerned residents of the Pacific Northwest.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kuskokwim River Salmon Management Working Group (Working Group) was formed in 1988 by the Alaska Board of Fisheries in response to requests from stakeholders in the Kuskokwim River drainage seeking a more active role in the management of salmon fishery resources. Since then, the Working Group has become increasingly active in the preseason, inseason, and postseason management of the Kuskokwim River drainage subsistence, commercial, and sport salmon fisheries. In 2001, the Working Group modified its charter in order to more effectively address the needs of the Federal Subsistence Management Program by including members of the Coordinating Fisheries Committee of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and Western Interior Regional Advisory Councils. The Working Group further modified its charter in 2005 to include representation from the far upriver communities that had not previously had a voice on the Working Group. The Working Group now serves as a public forum through which Federal and State fisheries managers meet with local users of the salmon resource to review run assessment information and reach a consensus on how to proceed with management of Kuskokwim River salmon fisheries. The Working Group met 14 times in 2005 and 10 times in 2006. In 2006 the Fisheries Information Services (FIS) Division of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFW) Office of Subsistence Management (OSM) provided funding for inseason support of the Working Group under the Inseason Support for Cooperative Management of the Kuskokwim River Subsistence Fishery project (FIS 06-307). The first meetings of the year were in March of 2005 and May 2006 with intensive and frequent meetings during June, July, and August; and summary and review session in September of both years. Working Group meetings provide the forum for area fishers, user representatives, community representatives, Regional Advisory Council representatives, Fish and Game Advisory Committee members, and State and Federal managers to come together to discuss issues relevant to sustained yield fishery management and providing for the subsistence use priority.
