Pre-season run size forecasts for Fraser River sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon in 2015 .: Fs70-7/2015-014E-PDF
Pre-season run size forecasts of returning Fraser River adult Sockeye and Pink Salmon in 2015 were requested by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Fisheries Management. Forecasts are used for pre-season planning purposes and for in-season management. They are most useful early in each stock-group’s return migration, before in-season test fisheries are able to provide reliable in-season run size estimates. Forecasts are produced by DFO as stipulated in Annex IV, Chapter 4 of the Pacific Salmon Treaty and are presented by stock and run timing group. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of November 25, 2014 on the Pre-season abundance forecasts for Fraser River Sockeye and Pink Salmon returns in 2015. The 2015 forecast relies on methods of past CSAS processes and publications (Cass et al. 2006; DFO 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013a, 2014a, 2014b; Grant & MacDonald 2013; MacDonald & Grant 2012).
