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 Bristol Bay. There were 13 escapement goals reviewed in the Bristol Bay management area for this review. The committee evaluated spawner-return data for all Bristol Bay sockeye salmon O. nerka and Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha stocks with escapement goals. For this escapement goal review, the committee recommends that all sockeye salmon escapement goals in the Bristol Bay management area remain the same. After the development of a run reconstruction model recommended at the last cycle, the committee also recommends no change to the Nushagak River Chinook salmon escapement goal for this cycle and that a run reconstruction-based escapement goal be considered during the next Board of Fisheries cycle.

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 2019 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2018, an interdivisional team, including staff from the Division of Commercial Fisheries and the Division of Sport Fish, was formed to review Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus sp. escapement goals in the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands Management areas (Area M). This review was 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). Of the 23 existing Area M salmon escapement goals evaluated, the team recommended revising 6 goals, discontinuing 1 goal, and leaving the remaining 16 goals unchanged. After a comprehensive review of the available data, the team recommended that no changes in the current sustainable escapement goals (SEGs) were warranted for 10 sockeye salmon O. nerka systems that include runs to Orzinski, Bear (early and late run), and Thin Point lakes; Mortensens, and Christianson lagoons; and the Cinder, Meshik, Sandy, and Ilnik rivers. No change was recommended for the sockeye salmon biological escapement goal (BEG) at Nelson River. In addition, the team recommended no changes to two of the current aggregate district SEGs for chum salmon O. keta in the North Peninsula, and two coho salmon O. kisutch goals at Nelson and Ilnik rivers. The team did recommend revision of six goals (Nelson River Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha BEG 2,400 to 5,000; McLees Lake sockeye salmon Lower Bound-SEG greater than 10,000; North Creek sockeye salmon SEG 7,500 to 10,000; Southeastern District aggregate chum salmon SEG 62,500 to 151,800; South Central District aggregate chum salmon SEG 68,900 to 99,200; Southwestern District aggregate chum salmon SEG 86,900 to 159,900). The chum salmon aggregate goal reviews incorporated a reduction to the number of index streams, which accounts for the apparent large changes in these goals. The Swanson Lagoon sockeye salmon escapement goal is recommended to be discontinued.

Book excerpt: In February 2018, an interdivisional team of staff from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game reviewed existing Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals in the Chignik Management Area (CMA). The 6 CMA salmon escapement goals were last reviewed in 2015. In 2018, the team reviewed recent data to determine whether substantial new information existed to warrant analyzing and updating the goals. The team determined Chignik Chinook salmon warranted further review. No goal revisions were recommended by the review team. No goals were eliminated and none were added for systems currently without escapement goals.

Book excerpt: This report summarizes statewide Pacific salmon escapement goals in effect in 2022 and documents escapements for all species and stocks with goals from 2014 through 2022. 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. For the 2021–2022 Alaska Board of Fisheries meeting cycle, escapement goals were reviewed for the Southeast Region and Prince William Sound Management Area, which had been postponed from the 2020–2021 meeting cycle because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these reviews, there were 7 escapement goal changes for 2022. In the Southeast Region, 2 escapement goals were updated (1 coho and 1 sockeye salmon), and in Prince William Sound, 4 escapement goals were updated (2 coho and 2 sockeye salmon) and the Copper River Chinook salmon escapement goal was revised from a lower-bound SEG to an SEG with an upper and lower bound. The number of salmon escapement goals in Alaska remained at 264. In 2022, 67% of the escapement goals in Alaska were met or exceeded and 33% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.

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 August of 2019 and again early in 2020. Escapement goals were reviewed based on the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222) and the Policy for Statewide Escapement Goals (5 AAC 39.223) adopted by the Alaska Board of Fisheries into regulation in 2001. There is a total of 47 escapement goals in Southeast Alaska for 11 Chinook, 12 sockeye, 13 coho, 3 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks. The Southeast escapement goal review committee recommended changes to these goals to the directors of the Divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish as follows: (1) change the Taku River sockeye salmon sustainable escapement goal range of 71,000–80,000 fish (based on a historical dataset) to a biological escapement goal range of 40,000–75,000 fish based on a revised dataset; and (2) change the Situk River coho salmon biological escapement goal range of 3,300–9,800 fish to a sustainable escapement goal range of 3,800–9,600 fish based on percentiles of historical survey counts. Detailed analyses of Chilkoot, Speel, and Redoubt Lakes sockeye salmon escapement goals are also documented here, although the committee did not recommend changes to those goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2020, an interdivisional team of staff from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game reviewed existing Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus escapement goals in the Chignik Management Area (CMA). The 6 CMA salmon escapement goals were last reviewed in 2018. Starting in 2020, the team reviewed recent data to determine whether substantial new information existed to warrant analyzing and updating the goals. The team determined Chignik sockeye salmon warranted further review. The team revised the early- and late-run sockeye salmon goals to a single biological escapement goal (BEG) of 450,000 to 800,000 fish to address overlaps and subsequent bottlenecks in freshwater rearing between the 2 major stocks. The early- and late-run sockeye salmon goals will be eliminated, and no new goals were added for systems currently without escapement goals.

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 2017. As of 2016, 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 changes to escapement goals to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish as follows: (1, 2, 3) replace escapement goal ranges for Chickamin, Blossom, and Keta river Chinook salmon, which are expressed in index survey counts, with ranges expressed as total escapement; (4) eliminate the Klukshu (Alsek) River Chinook salmon goal; (5) eliminate the combined East Alsek-Doame river sockeye salmon biological escapement goal (13,000-26,000 fish) and replace it with a sustainable escapement goal (range 9,000-24,000 fish) germane only to the East Alsek River; (6) eliminate the Lost River sockeye salmon goal; (7) eliminate the Alsek River sockeye salmon goal (8); change the Berners River coho salmon biological escapement goal from 4,000-9,200 fish to 3,600-8,100 fish; (9) change the Tsiu-Tsivat river coho salmon goal from a biological escapement goal to a sustainable escapement goal while maintaining the same goal of 10,000-29,000 fish; (10) eliminate the Ford Arm Creek coho salmon goal; (11) eliminate the Situk River pink salmon goal; and (12) change the aggregate Northern Southeast Inside summer-run chum salmon lower bound sustainable escapement goal from 119,000 to 107,000 fish. As a result of these recommendations, a total of 47 Southeast Alaska escapement goals would be established for 11 Chinook, 12 sockeye, 13 coho, 3 pink, and 8 chum salmon stocks.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A workshop was held on September 16-18, 1997 in Anchorage by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to review Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus escapement goals for major rivers in Bristol Bay. Spawner-return data were analyzed for Kvichak, Naknek, Egegik, Ugashik, Wood, Igushik, Nushagak, and Togiak Rivers sockeye salmon 0. nerka. Sockeye smolt information was reviewed for Kvichak, Egegk, and Ugashik Rivers. Available limnological and juvenile information were analyzed fiom Lake Iliarnna. In addition, spawner-return data for Nushagak River chinook salmon O. tshawytscha were also reviewed. With a few exceptions available data supported current escapement goals in Bristol Bay. Based on this most recent escapement goal evaluation, workshop participants recommended the following changes. They recommended restructuring the escapement goal policy for Kvichak River sockeye salmon to a more robust variable escapement goal. Analyses of available data were inconclusive as to whether the underlying cause of cycles in Kvichak River sockeye production were due to inherent depensatory factors or lack of spawners. The recommended policy included an off-cycle escapement range of 2-10 million sockeye salmon with a minimum goal of 2 million and an exploitation rate of 50% on runs of 4 - 20 million. The point goal for a given off-cycle year would be 50% of the inshore Kvichak run but never less than 2 million or greater than 10 million. A 6 -10 million escapement range was proposed for pre-peak and peak cycle years with a minimum of 6 million and an exploitation rate of 50% on runs of 12 - 20 million. The point goal for a given prepeak or peak cycle year would be 50% of the inshore Kvichak run but never less than 6 million or greater than 10 million. Workshop participants also recommended managing for escapements within the middle of the current escapement goal ranges for Naknek, Egegik, and Ugashik Rivers. The current management objectives or point goals for those rivers are artifacts of past Ricker stock-recruitment models and are no longer supported by the data. Therefore, it was recommended that the management objectives be changed to 1.1 million sockeye salmon for Naknek River, 1.1 million sockeye salmon for Egegik River, and 0.85 million sockeye salmon for Ugashik River. The final recommendation coming out of the workshop was that the sockeye escapement goal range for Togiak River be changed to 100 - 200 thousand sockeye salmon. Available data supported the current management objective of 150 thousand sockeye salmon for Togiak River, but indicated an escapement range of 100 - 200 thousand would on average produce higher yields.

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).
