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 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
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.

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

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.

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.
