In-season indicators of run-strength and survival for northern British Columbia coho / B. Holtby.: Fs70-1/2000-153E-PDF

In providing forecasts of run-strength and survival for the coho of northern British Columbia for 2000, Holtby et al. (2000) concluded that modest incidental catches of coho from the upper Skeena would not pose a significant risk of irreversible damage. It was emphasized that forecasts for the area had not proven sufficiently reliable to proceed with modest incremental fishing without an early in-season indicator that would warn of unforseen survival disasters such as the one that occurred in 1996 sea-entry. The purpose of this research document is to make a preliminary examination of the utility of four possible in-season indicators of run-strength and survival for northern B.C. coho.
