"A program to monitor the abundance and distribution of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in British Columbia was conducted jointly by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (D.F.O.) and the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in 1994, with the cooperation of the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks. The study consisted of contacting individuals and agencies involved with salmonoid fisheries, research and enhancement as well as all major commercial fish buyers, advising them to return or report all Atlantic salmon to D.F.O.. Catches of Atlantic salmon in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans sales slip and mark recovery databases were reviewed. One thousand and sixty-eight Atlantic salmon were either returned or reported to D.F.O., 31 of which were sighted or captured in freshwater. One hundred and seven fish were returned to the Pacific Biological Station for analysis and species verification. Ninety-one percent of the reported Atlantic salmon catch was caught in statistical area 12 (Johnstone Strait). Twenty-nine Atlantic salmon were reported caught in Alaskan commercial fisheries in 1994 and 363 were reported caught in Washington State"--Abstract, page iii.
