"Results of coho salmon spawning escapement studies from 1988-1993 in two streams near Nanaimo are provided with details on the 1993 surveys. Escapements were estimated using two techniques; mark-recapture, and area-under-the-curve with visual survey data. Approximately 900 adult coho and 127 jack coho returned to Chase River in 1993, and 99 adult coho and 16 jacks returned to nearby Beck Creek. The fishery exploitation on these fish was about 80% with recreational and commercial fisheries in the Strait of Georgia accounting for most of the catch"--Abstract, page vi.
