| Abstract: | Genetic tissue and age, sex, and length composition information will be collected from harvested Chinook salmon in the Upper Cook Inlet eastside set gillnet (ESSN) commercial fishery in 2017. The primary goals of the study are to estimate the stock composition and stock-specific harvest of Chinook salmon in the ESSN commercial fishery by reporting group and size (less than 75 cm METF [mid eye to tail fork] and 75 cm METF and longer) for each temporal and geographic stratum, and for the entire 2017 season. Harvest estimates will be apportioned into 4 reporting groups: Kenai River mainstem, Kasilof River mainstem, Kenai River tributaries, and Cook Inlet other. Age, sex, and length composition will also be estimated for each temporal and geographic stratum and for the entire 2017 season. |
