Book Description
An ongoing coded-wire tag project, used as part of a stock assessment program for Chilkat River Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch, will be conducted during fall 2020 and spring 2021 to provide estimates of smolt abundance and marine harvest for Chinook and coho salmon. This project uses modified Peterson 2-event mark-recapture methods to estimate smolt abundance, and port and creel sampling of coded-wire tags in mixed stock commercial and sport fisheries to estimate marine harvest for both species. Juvenile salmon will be measured for length and weight, marked with adipose fin clips, and tagged with coded wire tags in fall 2020 (juvenile Chinook salmon) and spring 2021 (Chinook and coho salmon smolt) as event 1 of the mark-recapture study. During event 2, adult Chinook salmon will be sampled for missing adipose fins, coded wire tags, age, sex, and length in Chilkat River fishwheels and drift gillnets, which are operated in the lower Chilkat River as part of a separate adult mark-recapture project. Adult Chinook salmon will be also sampled for missing adipose fins, coded wire tags, and age, sex, and length during Chilkat River drainage spawning grounds surveys to complete event 2 sampling. Coho salmon will also be sampled as adults during event 2 in the lower Chilkat River fishwheels. Age composition of Chinook salmon adults will be estimated by scale ageing techniques; age composition of coho salmon smolt and adults will also be estimated. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game uses these data to make local and regional management decisions. Chilkat Chinook salmon is a Pacific Salmon Commission exploitation rate and escapement indicator stock and has recently been added to the base model of abundance indicator stocks for the Chinook Technical Committee, which influences coastwide management.

Book Description
Chilkat River large (age-1.3 and older) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha inriver abundance and age and sex composition will be estimated using a 2-event mark-recapture experiment in 2019. Event 1 capture and marking will be conducted in the lower Chilkat River, and event 2 recapture will be conducted in principal spawning areas within the Chilkat River drainage. Data produced from this project will include spawning abundance of large Chinook salmon, age and sex compositions of the run, and when possible, age-1.2 abundance and length composition in the Chilkat River drainage. Chilkat River Chinook salmon are an exploitation rate and escapement indicator stock for the Pacific Salmon Commission Chinook Technical Committee, and it has been proposed that this stock be included in the coastwide Chinook salmon model used by the Pacific Salmon Commission to monitor coastwide abundance. Mark-recapture experiments have been conducted in the Chilkat River drainage since 1991; escapement estimates for 1991-2018 have an average coefficient of variation of 14%, which contributes toward precise stock assessment production estimates for the Chilkat River Chinook salmon stock. As part of the ongoing Chilkat River Chinook salmon coded wire tag studies, all Chinook salmon encountered in the mark-recapture experiment will be examined for adipose fin clips and the presence of a coded wire tag, which can be used for estimating juvenile production and marine harvest. Data collected from this project will be used to create full production estimates for the Chilkat stock.

Book Description
This plan describes the coded-wire tagging of juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha on the Unuk River for the 2019 and 2020 brood years, which covers the coded-wire tagging of parr in fall of 2020 and 2021 and smolt in spring of 2021 and 2022, and sampling returning adults for age, sex, length, and coded-wire tags in escapement from the 2022 through 2027 return years. This study provides estimates of smolt and parr abundance, overwinter (freshwater) survival, mean lengths of juveniles, and harvest information of Chinook salmon originating from the Unuk River in Southeast Alaska. A separate project will be conducted on the Unuk River that employs aerial and foot survey peak counts to estimate large (≥660 mm mid eye to fork of tail length) adult Chinook salmon returning to the river in 2020 and 2021. The primary goals of this and the companion study are to estimate inriver run size, total run size, marine harvest-exploitation rate and harvest distribution, smolt and parr abundance, marine survival (smolt to adult) and overwinter survival (parr to smolt). The Alaska Department of Fish and Game uses this information to make local and regional management decisions, and the Pacific Salmon Commission uses the data for coastwide management and stock assessment through the Chinook Technical Committee.

Book Description
Chilkat River large (age-1.3 and older) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha inriver abundance and age and sex composition will be estimated using a 2-event mark–recapture experiment in 2020. Event 1 capture and marking will be conducted in the lower Chilkat River, and event 2 recapture will be conducted in principal spawning areas within the Chilkat River drainage. Data produced from this project will include spawning abundance of large Chinook salmon, age and sex compositions of the run, and when possible, age-1.2 abundance and length composition in the Chilkat River drainage. Chilkat River Chinook salmon are an exploitation rate and escapement indicator stock for the Pacific Salmon Commission Chinook Technical Committee, and it has been proposed that this stock be included in the coastwide Chinook salmon model used by the Pacific Salmon Commission to monitor coastwide abundance.

Book Description
Chilkat River large (age-1.3 and older) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha inriver abundance and age and sex composition will be estimated using a 2-event mark–recapture experiment in 2022. Event 1 marking is conducted in the lower Chilkat River, and event 2 recapture is conducted in principal spawning areas within the Chilkat River drainage. Data produced from this project includes estimated spawning abundance and age, sex and length compositions of the large Chinook salmon run, and when possible, estimated spawning abundance and sex and length composition of the age-1.2 Chinook salmon run in the Chilkat River drainage. The Chilkat River stock of Chinook salmon is a Pacific Salmon Commission Chinook Technical Committee exploitation rate and escapement indicator stock, and contributes toward the coastwide Chinook model used by the Pacific Salmon Commission to monitor coastwide abundance. Mark–recapture experiments of adult Chinook salmon inriver abundance have been conducted in the Chilkat River drainage since 1991 and resulting escapement estimates have had an average coefficient of variation of 16%, which contributes toward precise stock assessment production estimates for the Chilkat River Chinook stock. As part of ongoing Chilkat River Chinook salmon coded wire tag studies, all Chinook salmon encountered in the mark–recapture experiment of adult Chinook salmon inriver abundance will be examined for missing adipose fins, an indication that fish may be tagged with a coded wire tag, information that leads to estimates of juvenile production and marine harvest. These data when used in conjunction with inriver abundance allows full production estimates for the Chilkat stock.

Book Description
In 2020-2024, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) will be enumerated at 2 Anchor River sites from mid-May through early August to monitor escapement for the drainage. The south fork site, located at approximately river kilometer (RKM) 4.0, will be monitored by an Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar (ARIS) during high flow periods, and a resistance board weir fitted with underwater video will be used thereafter. The north fork site, located at about RKM 5.3, will be monitored by a resistance board weir with underwater video from the beginning of the Chinook salmon run in early May. Motion-detection technology will be used at each weir to record fish passage 24 hours per day. Weekly beach seine surveys will be used to capture Chinook salmon for age-sex-length (ASL) samples downstream of the confluence of the south and north forks. Chinook salmon data will be used to update estimates of the spawner-recruit relationship and harvest rate, and to provide inseason run information to managers. Coho salmon and steelhead will also be monitored in the fall of each year using the resistance board weir and video system on each fork. Coho salmon age, sex, and length will be collected via beach seining. Coho salmon escapement and harvest rate will be estimated along with an index of steelhead abundance and catch rate.
