Supplement to the pre-season run size forecasts for Fraser River sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) salmon in 2016 .: Fs70-7/2016-047E-PDF

"To provide background for the 2016 Fraser Sockeye returns (DFO 2016), this year’s Fraser Sockeye forecast supplement presents information on these fish from their spawning parents through to their three-year-old siblings that returned in 2015. The brood year (year they were spawned by their parents) for 2016 four-year-old lake-type Fraser Sockeye returns, which represents most stocks, is 2012. The brood year for three and four year old river-type Sockeye (Harrison) returns are 2013 and 2012, respectively. The forecast supplement synthesizes information on adult Fraser River upstream migration conditions, escapements, spawner success, fry abundance and condition, the lake rearing conditions for fry (if available, and applicable to lake-type stocks only), and juvenile migration and ocean conditions in the Fraser River and Strait of Georgia (SOG). In addition, proportions of key lake-type stocks in various sampling components of the 2012 brood year are compared: 2012 escapements, 2014 smolt Fraser River downstream migration, 2014 juvenile ocean migration, and 2016 return forecasts"--p. 1.
