Framework for determination of Pacific Salmon Commission reference points for status determination and associated allowable exploitation rates for select Canadian southern coho salmon management units...: Fs70-6/2018-016E-PDF

"The current Pacific Salmon Treaty (PST) identifies four Southern BC Coho management units (MU): Interior Fraser (including Thompson), Lower Fraser, Strait of Georgia Mainland, and Strait of Georgia Vancouver Island. To date, there is no commonly accepted method available to derive management reference points and associated exploitation rates for MUs that lack escapement data time series. Presently, Interior Fraser is the only Canadian Coho Salmon MU where comprehensive escapement data have been collected and biological abundance-based benchmarks have been established. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Fisheries Management branch has requested that Science Branch provide benchmarks to inform the development of management reference points for all Canadian Southern BC Coho MUs"--Context, p. [1].
