Description

This project funded the 2019 Northern Bering Sea surface trawl survey, surveying a total of 2,870 km of transects. Stock specific abundance estimates for Yukon River Chinook stocks were performed as well as diet and condition analysis.

This project utilizes funds from PCSRF grant NA16NMF4380336; no funds from this grant were used past its end date.

Project Benefit

Chinook salmon are a key subsistence stock in the AYK region. This project will assist fisheries management through pre-season forecast models of run size and add insight into the marine ecology and production dynamics of Yukon River Chinook salmon. Reliable pre-season forecasts will assist with management plans, enable management strategies to be developed consistent with stock status, and reduce foregone harvest. Canadian-origin forecast models have provided significant assistance with fisheries management planning in recent years and similar assistance with management decisions is expected with total Yukon and Alaskan-origin Chinook salmon forecast models.
