Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon escapement of Kitsumkalum River, 1994 / by T.C. Nelson for Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Biological Sciences Branch.: Fs97-4/2332E-PDF

"In 1984, the Kitsumkalum River was selected under the Chinook Key Stream Program as one of the systems used to assess the response of chinook salmon stocks to a new harvest management regime. The goal of the new management regime is to rebuild chinook stocks to historical levels. The Chinook Key Stream Program was initiated in response to objectives set out in the Canada-U.S. Salmon Treaty. The major objectives of the Chinook Key Stream Program are: 1. to accurately estimate chinook escapement on Key Streams; 2. to estimate harvest rates and contributions to fisheries and escapement based on coded wire tagged/adipose-clip returns, including estimates of the total escapement of coded wire tags to the Key Stream system; and 3. to estimate the contribution of hatchery and natural production to the escapement. This manuscript report is the seventh in a series describing the escapement monitoring and biological sampling of chinook salmon in the Kitsumkalum River. …"--Introduction, page [1].
