Review of 1999 terminal run of Somass (Stamp) River chinook salmon and 1999 escapement to WCVI extensively surveyed indicators, and forecast for 2000 / B. Riddell … [et al.].: Fs70-1/2000-113E-PDF
The detailed assessments and abundance forecasts of the Robertson Creek Hatchery (RCH) and Stamp River chinook are undertaken annually for management of ocean and terminal fisheries, and as an indicator of the expected returns to the naturally spawning chinook populations along the west coast of Vancouver Island (WCVI). Forecasts presented in this research paper indicate a conservation concern developing for naturally spawning chinook populations along the WCVI during the next few years. The minimum escapement goal established for the Stamp/RCH chinook stock will not be met in 2000 and total terminal return for this stock is projected to decline by 66% relative to 1999. If this decline is assumed for the naturally spawning stocks along the SCVI, the numbers of females expected to spawn naturally in 2000 will vary from as low as 30 females to over a couple of hundred females in each river system.
