| Notes | The Pacific Salmon Treaty between the United States and Canada requires modeling of the effects of mixed stock fisheries on wild Chinook salmon, and has designated the Salmon River’s hatchery stock of fall Chinook salmon as an Exploitation Rate Indicator Stock for Oregon’s north coast. The treaty requires monitoring this stock and developing good estimates of spawning and escapement. The Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, seeking to move away from expensive mark-recapture studies, tested a technique of conducting index surveys, in the hope of finding a less expensive but still accurate method of making required estimates. This report describes the technique used and how well it did. |
