Description

Abstract: As a participant in the U.S. – Canada Pacific Salmon Treaty, Oregon is obligated to provide sound, biologically based information on salmon stocks originating in and returning to Oregon that are exploited in PST fisheries. Oregon fall Chinook from the north and mid-Oregon coast migrate to the north after leaving their home river systems, and are taken in Alaskan and British Columbia commercial troll and recreational fisheries. These fisheries are managed by the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) under an abundance-based management scheme. To successfully accomplish this, participating states such as Oregon must provide the Commission with reliable information on the in-river catch and escapement of fall chinook for the river systems involved.
