Book Description
The purpose of this project is to provide biological data (age determination, length, and sex) from commercial salmon catch (harvest) and escapements to assist with the inseason and long-term management of salmon in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA). The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of Commercial Fisheries annually samples sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka escapements and catch in the KMA. Biological information such as age, sex, and length are collected from escapements in the Karluk, Ayakulik, Upper Station, Frazer, Afognak (Litnik), Saltery, and Pasagshak systems. In 1985, an expanded commercial salmon catch sampling operation was initiated in the KMA that, in combination with the escapement sampling, provides the foundation for preseason run forecasts, escapement goal evaluation, and assignment of the run to stock of origin (run reconstruction). Commercial sockeye salmon catch will be sampled for age from individual districts and sections throughout the KMA.
