Book Description
Declining run sizes and ensuing state and federal restrictions and closures to Unalakleet River Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha fisheries highlighted the need to obtain more complete estimates of spawning escapement. In response, multiple agencies and entities began the Unalakleet River weir project in 2010 funded by United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Subsistence Management to obtain estimates of the mainstem Chinook salmon escapement and its age, sex, and length composition. An estimated 667 and 1,126 Chinook salmon were enumerated during the 2013 and 2014 seasons. The central 50% of the Chinook salmon run was enumerated 7 July-18 July in 2013 and could not be determined in 2014 because Chinook salmon passage was not fully evaluated. In 2013, there were 3 days of partial counts. Interpolation of missed counts could not be completed in 2014 because of incomplete information about the exact duration and extent of unmonitored periods. Age composition could not be determined from the 2013 escapement samples because the minimum sampling goal was not achieved; sex composition was 52% female. In 2014, age-1.3 Chinook salmon comprised the majority (68%) of the escapement samples.

Book Description
Declining run sizes, coupled with state and federal restrictions and closures to the Unalakleet River Chinook salmon fisheries, have highlighted the need to obtain more complete estimates of the magnitude and age, sex, and length (ASL) composition of the spawning escapement.

Book Description
Declining run sizes and ensuing state and federal restrictions and closures to Unalakleet River Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha fisheries highlighted the need to obtain more complete estimates of spawning escapement. In response, multiple agencies and entities began the Unalakleet River weir in 2010 funded by United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Subsistence Management. The goal was to obtain estimates of the mainstem Chinook salmon escapement and age, sex, and length (ASL) composition. An estimated 505 Chinook salmon were enumerated during the 2016 season. High water and numerous pink salmon O. gorbuscha contributed to an incomplete count of Chinook salmon in 2016, therefore the escapement estimate should be considered a minimum count and run timing could not be determined. A total of 25 ASL samples were collected but did not meet minimum sample size requirements and could not be used to estimate female percentage or age composition. Despite issues with operations in 2016, the Unalakleet River weir is an important tool for fishery managers and increased oversight and training will ensure it remains a viable option for monitoring Chinook salmon in the Unalakleet River.

The goal was to obtain estimates of the mainstem Chinook salmon escapement and age, sex, and length composition. An estimated 2,789 Chinook salmon were enumerated during the 2015 season. The central 50% of the Chinook salmon run was enumerated 7 July to 15 July in 2015. Interpolation was not needed in 2015 because there were only minor breaches that were repaired quickly. Female Chinook salmon comprised 37% of the fish sampled for age, sex, and length data and age composition of the samples was 40% age-1.3 and 35% age-1.4 Chinook salmon.

Book Description
This report provides a description of the chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, fisheries in the Unalakleet Area; summarizes available harvest, escapement, age and sex information for returns to the Unalakleet River; and provides recommendations for improved data collection and escapement goals.

Book Description
The 2013 Anchor River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) escapement (4,401 fish, SE 117) fell within the sustainable escapement goal (SEG) range of 3,800?10,000 fish. High river flows changed the channel morphology at the confluence of the north and south forks, which rendered the 2003?2012 mainstem dual-frequency identification sonar (DIDSON) site unsuitable for monitoring escapement. Thus, for the 2013 season, the DIDSON was relocated about 0.3 RKM downstream and was operated throughout the high-water period. Once flows subsided, 2 alternative escapement monitoring sites were identified upstream: 1 on the south fork and 1 on the north fork. The north fork site was located approximately 1.5 RKM upstream from the confluence and the south fork site was located approximately 0.2 RKM upstream of the confluence. Weirs and underwater video systems were used at both sites to monitor escapement. The midpoint of the Chinook salmon run was 19 June. The daily Chinook salmon escapement counts were positively correlated with daily average river stage, but not with daily average river temperature. The dominant age class was ocean age 3 (43.5%, SE 4.1%). Overall mean length of males (604 mm, SE 15) was smaller than that of females (734 mm, SE 25). The inriver sport fishery was restricted by a series of emergency orders that probably resulted in a near record low harvest of 97 fish.

Book Description
The Kuskokwim River drainage is a remote area in western Alaska where Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. return to spawn and play a fundamental role in the local economy and food supply. Each year the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, in collaboration with other entities, operates escapement monitoring projects throughout Kuskokwim River tributaries.

Book Description
In 2010, the total number of Chinook salmon counted at the Ninilchik River weir was 658 fish, of which 623 were wild and 35 were hatchery-reared. The wild Chinook salmon escapement corresponding to the sustainable escapement goal (SEG) index monitoring period (3 July through 31 July) was 605 fish, which fell within the SEG range of 550-1,300 fish. Based on the dates of the median run times during the SEG index monitoring period, the wild Chinook salmon run was 8 days earlier than the hatchery-reared Chinook salmon run. The dominant age class was ocean age 2 for both wild and hatchery-reared Chinook salmon. No egg takes were conducted in 2010. Stocking goals were met for the Ninilchik River and all Kachemak Bay terminal saltwater fishery locations. The Ninilchik River Chinook salmon supplementation program has continued to provide sport fishing opportunities on the Ninilchik River and terminal saltwater fisheries. Continuation of Chinook salmon assessment at the Ninilchik River weir is recommended to ensure that adequate escapement of wild Chinook salmon is maintained.
