... one in a series of species specific reports describing population abundance data sets compiled for anadromous Pacific salmon.
A maximum likelihood model was developed to estimate the 1968–2020 drainagewide run size and escapement of Nushagak River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). The model simultaneously combined information by direct observations of escapement at 8 locations (1 tower and 7 aerial surveys); harvest of fish from commercial, subsistence, and sport fisheries; inriver abundance indices from the Nushagak River sonar project; and inriver abundance estimates from acoustic tag and mark–recapture studies. Results showed that reconstructed total run size ranged from 74,000 to 629,000 Chinook salmon with an average run size of 282,000 fish, and escapement ranged from 49,000 to 476,000 fish with an average of 210,000 fish. The model estimated total run and escapement appeared to be reasonable and tracked well with previous estimates. The major deficiency of this model is the absence of overlapping, long-term escapement and run monitoring data.
This report provides a description of the chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, fisheries in the Unalakleet Area; summarizes available harvest, escapement, age and sex information for returns to the Unalakleet River; and provides recommendations for improved data collection and escapement goals.
The symposium "Pacific Salmon and Their Ecosystems: Status and Future Options',' and this book resulted from initial efforts in 1992 by Robert J. Naiman and Deanna J. Stouder to examine the problem of declining Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.). Our primary goal was to determine informational gaps. As we explored different scientific sources, state, provincial, and federal agencies, as well as non-profit and fishing organizations, we found that the information existed but was not being communicated across institutional and organizational boundaries. At this juncture, we decided to create a steering committee and plan a symposium to bring together researchers, managers, and resource users. The steering committee consisted of members from state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and private industry (see Acknowledgments for names and affiliations). In February 1993, we met at the University of Washington in Seattle to begin planning the symposium. The steering committee spent the next four months developing the conceptual framework for the symposium and the subsequent book. Our objectives were to accomplish the following: (1) assess changes in anadromous Pacific Northwest salmonid populations, (2) examine factors responsible for those changes, and (3) identify options available to society to restore Pacific salmon in the Northwest. The symposium on Pacific Salmon was held in Seattle, Washington, January 10-12, 1994. Four hundred and thirty-five people listened to oral presentations and examined more than forty posters over two and a half days. We made a deliberate attempt to draw in speakers and attendees from outside the Pacific Northwest.
Total run of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to the Kuskokwim River from 1976 through 2011 was estimated using a model developed for data-limited situations. The model simultaneously combined information on subsistence harvest, commercial harvest and effort, sport harvest, test fish harvest and catch per unit of effort at Bethel, mark-recapture estimates of inriver abundance, and counts of salmon at 6 weirs and peak aerial counts from 14 drainages all spread throughout the Kuskokwim River drainage. The estimates of historic run size were then combined with available information on the age structure of the stock to reconstruct the total return by age and ultimately estimate a brood table.
