Description

Abstract: The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a multi-year, multi-basin study designed to develop methods that provide reliable estimates of fall chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) spawner escapements for Oregon coastal streams. Chinook salmon originating in Oregon coastal rivers north of Elk River are northmigrating and vulnerable to fisheries off of southeast Alaska and British Columbia. The U.S. - Canada Pacific Salmon Treaty established the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) to provide a framework to manage salmon fisheries. The 1999 modification to the Treaty defines an aggregate abundance based management (AABM) regime whereby harvests will vary with abundance. A broader goal of this treaty is to restore and rebuild production of naturally spawning chinook (PSC 1997).
