Book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in the Kodiak Management Area 2019

Download or read book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in the Kodiak Management Area 2019 written by Timothy R. McKinley and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interdivisional team of staff from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game met beginning in March 2019 to review existing Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) escapement goals in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA) and make recommendations to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish. The KMA salmon escapement goals had been reviewed previously in 2016. The current review team recommends 21 goals remain unchanged, and 1 goal be revised (Olds River coho salmon [O. kisutch] lower bound sustainable escapement goal of 500). In addition, a change in designation from a biological escapement goal to a sustainable escapement goal is recommended for 3 goals (Afognak River sockeye salmon [O. nerka], Upper Station late-run sockeye salmon, and Buskin River coho salmon). When combined with existing escapement goals, these staff recommendations to the directors of the divisions of Commercial and Sport Fisheries result in 22 escapement goals for the KMA in 2019: 12 for sockeye salmon, 2 for Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), 4 for coho salmon, 3 for pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), and 1 for chum salmon (O. keta).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interdivisional team of staff from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game met 3 times beginning in March 2016 to review existing Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapement goals in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA), for the purpose of making recommendations to the directors of the divisions of Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish. The KMA salmon escapement goals had previously been reviewed in 2013. The review team recommends 18 goals remain unchanged, the elimination of 2 goals (Uganik Lake sockeye salmon O. nerka lower-bound sustainable escapement goal, and Mainland District chum salmon O. keta aggregate lower-bound sustainable escapement goal), and the revision of 4 goals (Ayakulik Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha biological escapement goal range 4,800?8,400, Karluk River early-run sockeye salmon biological escapement goal range 150,000?250,000, Karluk River late-run sockeye salmon biological escapement goal range 200,000?400,000, and Kodiak Archipelago chum salmon aggregate lower-bound sustainable escapement goal 101,000). When combined with existing escapement goals, these staff recommendations to the directors of the divisions of Commercial and Sport Fisheries result in 22 escapement goals for the KMA in 2017: 12 for sockeye salmon, 2 for Chinook salmon, 4 for coho salmon O. kisutch, 3 for pink salmon O. gorbuscha, and 1 for chum salmon.

Book Summary of Pacific Salmon Escapement Goals in Alaska with a Review of Escapements from 2012 to 2020

Download or read book Summary of Pacific Salmon Escapement Goals in Alaska with a Review of Escapements from 2012 to 2020 written by Andrew Roy Munro and published by . 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: 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.

Book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in Bristol Bay Alaska 2021

Download or read book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in Bristol Bay Alaska 2021 written by Stacy L. Vega and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. 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 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.

As a result of these reviews, there were 53 escapement goal changes in 2017, including the elimination of 2 goals, establishment of 2 new goals, and the replacement of the Kenai River early- and late-run Chinook salmon goals based on all fish with escapement goals based on large fish only. In addition, two Optimal Escapement Goals were removed from management plans by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. In 2017, 83% of the escapement goals were met or exceeded and 17% of the stocks did not meet minimum escapement goals.

Book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in the Chignik Management Area 2020

Download or read book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in the Chignik Management Area 2020 written by Heather Finkle and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. 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.

Book A Review of Escapement Goals for Salmon Stocks in Lower Cook Inlet Alaska 2023

Download or read book A Review of Escapement Goals for Salmon Stocks in Lower Cook Inlet Alaska 2023 written by Edward O. Otis and published by . 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.

Book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands Management Areas 2020

Download or read book Review of Salmon Escapement Goals in the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands Management Areas 2020 written by Heather Finkle and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2020, 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 of 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 22 existing Area M salmon escapement goals evaluated, the team recommended revising 10 goals and leaving the remaining 12 goals unchanged. After a comprehensive review of the available data, the team found that no changes in the current sustainable escapement goals (SEGs) were warranted for sockeye salmon O. nerka system runs to Bear (early and late run) and McLees Lakes, the Cinder, Meshik, and North Creek Rivers, nor for the sockeye salmon biological escapement goal (BEG) for Nelson River. In addition, the team determined no changes were warranted for Nelson River Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), South Peninsula pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), or the current aggregate district SEGs for chum salmon O. keta in the Southeastern, South Central, and Southwestern Districts. The team determined revisions were warranted and revised goals for 6 sockeye salmon systems (Ilnik River SEG 40,000–75,000, Sandy River SEG 37,000–69,000, Christianson Lagoon SEG 23,000–50,000, Orzinski Lake SEG 14,000–28,000, Mortensen Lagoon SEG 1,400–5,700, and Thin Point Lake SEG 9,000–19,000), 2 chum salmon systems (Northern District SEG 49,000–132,000 and Northwestern District SEG 49,000–133,000), and 2 coho salmon systems (Nelson River SEG 19,000–29,000 and Ilnik River SEG 9,000–24,000). 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.
