Book Description
To facilitate informed inseason management of commercial fisheries targeting Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp., the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) uses aerial and ground survey methods to monitor escapement on select index streams in Lower Cook Inlet (LCI). Surveyors make periodic counts of sockeye O. nerka, chum O. keta, and pink O. gorbuscha salmon throughout the duration of their respective runs. Fishery managers use these data daily to manipulate time and area fishery openings/closures in an effort to assure that the final escapement level for monitored stocks falls within their individual escapement goal ranges. At the end of the season, periodic aerial and ground survey counts are used to calculate a final escapement index for each stream based on the area-under-the-curve method (pink and chum salmon) or the peak survey count (sockeye salmon). This report provides operational guidelines for aerial and ground survey-based monitoring of salmon escapements in LCI.

Book Description
The goals of this study are to estimate the participation and harvest of 5 personal use salmon fisheries that occur in Upper Cook Inlet. Harvests of sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and Chinook (O. tshawytscha) salmon will be estimated from the Kasilof gillnet fishery; harvests of sockeye, coho (O. kisutch), and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon will be estimated from the Kasilof dipnet fishery; harvests of sockeye, Chinook, coho, and pink salmon will be estimated from the Kenai dipnet fishery; and harvest of sockeye and coho salmon will be estimated from the Fish Creek and Susitna River dipnet fisheries. Incidental harvest of flounder will also be estimated for all for fisheries.

Book Description
Aerial index counts from 22 NCIMA Chinook salmon streams are used detect trends in escapement for various NCIMA stocks and are used to assist fisheries managers with future management and refinement of escapement goals for streams and stocks. The objectives of this project are to count the number of Chinook salmon in each of 22 selected NCIMA area streams during 1 annual survey of each stream between 15 July and 7 August in 2021 through 2025, and to count the number of coho salmon in each of 8 selected NCIMA area streams during 1 annual survey of each stream between 20 September and 4 October in 2021 through 2025. Surveys may be limited by budgetary constraints and priority will be given to streams and stocks with escapement goals.

Book Description
This operational plan details the qualitative evaluation of Chinook and coho salmon stocks in selected drainages within the Anchorage Management Area. The numbers of Chinook salmon and coho salmon will be counted in 5 different drainages by foot and float surveys. The numbers of other salmon species will be recorded as well. Data from these surveys will be used to manage the Chinook and coho salmon sport fisheries in the Anchorage Management Area.

Book Description
The Crooked Creek Chinook Salmon Enhancement Project is designed to monitor both naturally- and hatchery-produced Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) escapement as well as collect broodstock and conduct egg takes to provide additional sport fishing opportunities within the Kasilof River and other terminal fisheries on the Kenai Peninsula. This project will imprint Chinook salmon smolt for 7 to 10 days at the beginning of June. Additionally, age, sex, and length, will be collected from returning naturally- and hatchery-produced Chinook salmon. The sustainable escapement goal for Crooked Creek is 700–1,400 naturally-produced Chinook salmon.

Book Description
The overall purpose of this project is to provide information on the run-timing and magnitude of sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka escapements to Mikfik and Chenik lakes in the Kamishak District of the Lower Cook Inlet Management Area (LCIMA). Results will be used by Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) fisheries managers to facilitate informed inseason management of commercial purse seine fisheries targeting these stocks to be consistent with sustained yield of wild stocks (AS 16.05.730), follow appropriate principles and criteria in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222), and achieve spawning escapement goals (5 AAC 39.223). This plan documents procedures we developed for estimating sockeye salmon escapement using an unmanned, or autonomous video counting tower (AVCT) that employs above-stream remote video cameras and digital time-lapse recording equipment (Otis and Dickson 2002). Hard drives are retrieved regularly, and video reviewed immediately so managers can use these data to adjust fishery openings in season to attain established escapement goals (Hollowell et al. 2022). The annual escapement indices derived by remote video are also used to refine the sustainable escapement goals for these stocks, currently established by ADF&G at 3,400–11,000 for Mikfik Lake and 2,900–13,700 for Chenik Lake (Table 1; Otis et al. 2010, Otis et al. 2013, Otis et al. 2016).

Book Description
To facilitate informed inseason management of commercial fisheries targeting pink Oncorhynchus gorbusha, and chum salmon O. keta the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries, uses aerial surveys to monitor escapement on select index streams in Prince William Sound (PWS). Surveyors make weekly counts of pink and chum salmon throughout the duration of the runs. Fishery managers use these data daily to manipulate time and area of fisheries openings to ensure sustainable escapement levels and follow appropriate principles and criteria in the Policy for the Management of Mixed Stock Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.220), 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). Post-season, weekly survey counts of index streams are used to calculate a final escapement index for each district-specific escapement goal based on area-under-the curve methods and stream-specific estimates of stream life. This report provides operational guidelines for aerial monitoring of pink and chum salmon escapements in PWS.

Book Description
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.
