Evaluating benchmarks of biological status for data-limited conservation units of Pacific salmon, focusing on chum salmon in southern BC / Carrie Holt, Brooke Davis, Diana Dobson, Lyse Godbout, Wilf Luedke,...: Fs70-5/2018-011E-PDF

"Status assessments for Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) under the Wild Salmon Policy (WSP) have been limited, in part because recruitment time-series required to calculate stock-recruitment based benchmarks are not consistently available. Alternative benchmarks have been proposed for data-limited Conservation Units (CUs) using percentiles of the observed spawner abundance time-series. However, these benchmarks have not been evaluated against stock-recruitment benchmarks currently used to assess status on abundances for data-rich CUs. Our goals were to evaluate percentile-based benchmarks against stock-recruitment based benchmarks accounting for high uncertainties and possible biases in spawner abundances, catches, recruitment estimates, and age-at-maturity"--Abstract, page x.
