Biological assessment of Skeena River coho salmon / B. Holtby … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-140E-PDF
This Working Paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the status of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) of the Skeena River, British Columbia. An annotated list of past Working Papers, advice provided by PSARC, and the response of Science and Fisheries Management to that advice is also provided. Data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements are presented and the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998 are documented. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate advice is provided on a sustainable exploitation rate and both an escapement target and an escapement Limit Reference Point. Further assessment of the status of Skeena coho is provided and productivity differences of the interior and coastal coho are further documented (Holtby and Finnegan 1997).
