Includes bibliographical references (page 29). "A gillnet test fishery was initiated in 1984 in the Upper Dean Channel area of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Statistical Area 8 to monitor the escapement of sockeye and chum salmon destined primarily for the Kimsquit River. Information collected included site monitoring, mean daily catch per hour of dominant salmon species, run timing data, and length, age and sex biosamples. Sockeye abundance peaked in the terminal spawning area on July 19 and 29; pink and chum salmon abundance peaked July 4, 30 and August 15 respectively. The dominant sockeye age classes were age 42 (50%) and 52 (49%); these exhibited mean lengths of 456 mm and 461 mm respectively, and an overall sex ratio of 1.3:1 males/females. Chum salmon were primarily age 42 (58%) with a mean length of 614 mm and an observed sex ratio of 1.1:1 males/females. Improvements to the test fishery are suggested, along with a means of quantifying spawners with reference to the gillnet abundance index"--Abstract, page v. Includes abstracts in English and French.
