2024 Test Fisheries Data
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) conducts several test fisheries in Northern Southeast Alaska each year, as a means to assess pink and chum salmon abundance returning to the region. These test fisheries are conducted once per week by vessels contracted with the state, for a period of five to six weeks. NSRAA is interested in the origin of chum salmon intercepted in these test fisheries and cooperates with ADF&G and fish processors to collect otolith samples for each test fishery. Otoliths are read by both NSRAA and DIPAC and these preliminary results are used to make inferences of run strength and timing for various enhanced fisheries in the region.
PRELIMINARY RESULTS BELOW
note: results shown below are preliminary and include data from readable otoliths and scales only
