Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to guidelines established in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 (Nome) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta stock as a stock of management concern at its September 2000 work session. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2001. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and, in the case of Subdistrict 1 chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2003, ADF&G recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of management concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2004 meeting. A majority of chum salmon escapement goals were achieved in Subdistrict 1 from 2002-2006. Hence, in January 2007, the BOF classified Subdistrict 1 chum salmon stock of yield concern. Since 2004, escapement has been met in Subdistrict 1, except for 2009, when it fell 7% short of the lower end of the escapement goal range of 23,000-35,000. The recent yield remains below historical levels despite use of specific management measures. Based on the definitions provided in the SSFP, ADF&G recommends continuing the stock of concern classification of Subdistrict 1 chum salmon as a stock of yield concern. The department recommends that management continue under the current plans through the next board cycle.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 (Nome) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta stock as a stock of management concern and Subdistricts 2 (Golovin) and 3 (Elim) as a stock of yield concern at its September 2000 work session. Action plans were developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) and acted upon by the board in January 2001. The SSFP directs the department to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the board regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and, in the case of Subdistricts 1-3 chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2004, the classification for Subdistrict 1 chum salmon as a stock of management concern and for Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon as a stock of yield concern was continued by the board at its January 2004 meeting. A majority of chum salmon escapement goals were achieved in Subdistrict 1 from 2002 to 2006. Hence, in January 2007, the board classified the Subdistrict 1 chum salmon stock as a yield concern, rather than a management concern. In 2010, the department recommended continuation of classification of this stock as a yield concern, which was supported by the board at its January 2010 meeting. Likewise, the Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon stock has been maintained as a yield concern classification. Since 2004, the subdistrict-wide escapement goal has been met in Subdistrict 1, except for 2009, when assessed escapement fell 7% short of the lower end of the escapement goal range of 23,000 to 35,000. Escapements within individual rivers of Subdistrict 1 have been variable. Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon runs have been more volatile and have only reached sustainable escapement goals (SEGs) in 2 of the last 5 years. Based on the definitions provided in the SSFP, the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification for Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 and Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the guidelines established in Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; ADF&G 2000), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 (Golovin and Moses Point subdistricts, respectively) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta, as a stock of concern, specifically a yield concern, at its September 2000 work session. A "yield concern" is defined as, "a concern arising from a chronic inability, despite the use of specific management measures, to maintain expected yields, or harvestable surpluses, above a stock's escapement needs; a yield concern is less severe than a management concern". An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2001. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and in the case of Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2003, ADF&G recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of yield concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2004 meeting. Likewise in 2006, ADF&G recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of yield concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2007 meeting. Since that time, chum salmon yield in Subdistricts 2 and 3 has shown little improvement. The Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon stock continue to meet the definition for a yield concern as defined in SSFP and ADF&G recommends continuing the stock of concern classification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified the Norton Sound Nome Subdistrict (Subdistrict 1) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta stock as a stock of management concern at the September 2000 work session. A "management concern" is defined as, "a concern arising from a chronic inability, despite use of specific management measures, to maintain escapements for salmon stocks within the bound of Sustainable Escapement Goal (SEG), Biological Escapement Goal (BEG), Optimal Escapement Goal (OEG), or other specified objectives for the fishery." An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2001. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and in the case of Nome Subdistrict chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2003, the department recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of management concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2004 meeting. Since that time, a majority of chum salmon escapement goals were achieved in the Nome Subdistrict from 2002 to 2006. Hence, the Nome Subdistrict chum salmon stock no longer meets the definition for a management concern as defined in SSFP. However, the recent yield remains well below historical levels despite use of specific management measures. Based on the definitions provided in the SSFP, ADF&G recommends changing the stock of concern classification of the Nome Subdistrict chum salmon stock from a management concern to a yield concern. The department recommends that management continue under the current plans through the next board cycle.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 5 (Shaktoolik) and Subdistrict 6 (Unalakleet) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha stock as a stock of concern, specifically a yield concern, at its January 2004 meeting. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2004. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and in the case of Norton Sound Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2007, the BOF continued the Subdistrict 5 and Subdistrict 6 Chinook salmon classification as a stock of yield concern and adopted a Chinook salmon management plan (5 AAC 04.395) in order to increase escapements and restore the stock to historical levels of abundance. Escapement goals were achieved in 2007 and 2009, but only as a result of the subsistence fishing schedule stipulated in the management plan, inriver gillnet mesh size restrictions, and early closures to subsistence and sport fisheries. Given the continued inability to maintain near average yields despite the use of specific management measures, the Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon stock continues to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP. Therefore, ADF&G recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification. ADF&G is recommending changes to the management plan in order to ensure commercial fisheries directed on chum O. keta and pink salmon O. gorbuscha are prosecuted in a manner that does not negatively affect the Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon subsistence fishery and escapement.

Book excerpt: In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 5 (Shaktoolik) and Subdistrict 6 (Unalakleet) king salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha as a stock of concern, specifically a yield concern, at its January 2004 meeting. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) and acted upon by the board in January 2004. The SSFP directs the department to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the board regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and in the case of Norton Sound subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. The board continued the Subdistrict 5 and Subdistrict 6 king salmon classification as a stock of yield concern in 2007, and adopted a king salmon management plan (5 AAC 04.395) in order to increase escapements and restore the stock to historical levels of abundance. In 2010, the board continued the stock of concern designation and modified the management plan to provide direction for prosecuting commercial chum (O. keta) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon fisheries in times of low king salmon abundance. Escapement goals were achieved in 2007, 2009, and 2010, but only as a result of the subsistence fishing schedule stipulated in the management plan, inriver gillnet mesh size restrictions, and early closures to subsistence and sport fisheries. Escapement goals were not achieved in 2008 and 2012 despite similar conservation measures; escapement estimates are considered incomplete for 2011. Given the continued inability to maintain near average yields despite the use of specific management measures, subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon continue to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP. Therefore, the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification. A key challenge to fisheries management is developing strategies to allow commercial fisheries directed on chum and pink salmon while minimizing adverse impacts on reaching king salmon escapement goals and meeting subsistence needs in subdistricts 5 and 6.

Book excerpt: In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified Norton Sound Subdistrict 5 (Shaktoolik) and Norton Sound Subdistrict 6 (Unalakleet) king salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha as a stock of yield concern at its January 2004 meeting. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) and acted upon by the board. The board continued the Subdistrict 5 and Subdistrict 6 king salmon classification as a stock of yield concern in 2007 and adopted a king salmon management plan (5 AAC 04.395) in order to increase escapements and restore the stock to historical levels of abundance. In 2010 and 2013, the board continued the stock of concern designation and modified the management plan to provide direction for targeting commercial chum (O. keta) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon fisheries in times of low king salmon abundance. Gillnet mesh size restrictions and fishery closures were required to achieve the North River escapement goal in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015 and 2018. Escapement goals were not achieved in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2017 despite similar conservation measures. The 2011 escapement could not be determined. From 2016-2018 Subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon stock yields have remained well below historical average (1994-1999), despite the use of specific management measures. Therefore, Subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon continue to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP and the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical research and local knowledge suggest that salmon vulnerable to harvest by fisheries in Subdistricts 5 and 6 of the Norton Sound management area represent a mixed stock, with unique populations migrating through marine waters and into spawning streams throughout the area and beyond. Incomplete understanding of salmon harvest composition and migration characteristics in Norton Sound has constrained managers’ ability to direct stock-specific persecution of fisheries. Consequently, fisheries in Subdistricts 5 and 6 are managed as a single unit and salmon are assigned to stocks based on the subdistrict in which they were harvested. This strategy has raised concern among local stakeholders that proportional harvest rates are being obscured and salmon caught in Subdistricts 5 and 6 could be bound for spawning streams in other subdistricts in the Norton Sound area. This project will use acoustic telemetry to address the critical management assumption that chum and coho stocks vulnerable to harvest in Subdistricts 5 and 6 are bound for spawning streams within those subdistricts and should be managed concurrently. This project will attempt to mimic the timing and location of nearshore salmon fisheries in Subdistricts 5 and 6 to tag chum and coho salmon such that the tagged fish are reasonably representative of the available mixed stocks. Sequential acoustic detection of tagged salmon by coastal marine and inriver hydrophone receivers will be used to estimate the spawning distribution of mixed stocks and describe spatiotemporal characteristics of nearshore migration. Results of this project are intended to inform management decisions by clarifying salmon stocks available for harvest in subdistricts 5 and 6 and stock-specific migration characteristics through those subdistricts so that stocks with harvestable surpluses can be targeted while minimizing impacts to less productive stocks.
