Cost Recovery at Deep Inlet August 10 – 125,000 lbs
Cost recovery began at Deep Inlet on Wednesday August 10th. Two boats harvested 125,000 lbs. Sex ratio was 57% male. We will need to take otolith samples to determine what proportion, if any, is Hidden Falls stock as that could skew the sex ratio. The 100 fish sample taken last night had several partially spawned females which would certainly be from the HF stock. Boats are fishing again today.

It is expected to be closed for approximately two weeks. The chum goal during the closure has not been set as it will be affected by current cost recovery harvests at Southeast Cove, Hidden Falls (there may be some excess to broodstock), and Bear Cove/Medvejie where we are harvesting small but significant numbers tomorrow. The target number will be determined early next week. However, it is expected that the total number of chum at...
Read MoreDeep Inlet Cost Recovery Closure Date Discussed
There will need to be a closure at Deep Inlet for cost recovery harvest soon, although the exact date is being discussed in the Executive Committee. Final decision on date will be made early next week. Due to the run failure at Hidden Falls (broodstock is secure at 160,000 chum) we will need to harvest an additional lot of chum at Deep Inlet to make up for the income shortfall. Not including what we have already harvested at Deep Inlet, we need to harvest 300,000 additional chum salmon. The DI summer run forecast was 400,000 fish and is on track for hitting that target. The fall run is...
