| Abstract: | The Alaska Department of Fish and Game interdivisional escapement goal review committee reviewed 28 Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) escapement goals for the major river systems in Upper Cook Inlet. Escapement goals were reviewed for 13 Chinook salmon, 1 chum salmon, 4 coho salmon, and 9 sockeye salmon stocks. The committee findings to the Commercial Fisheries and Sport Fish division directors are that the Campbell Creek Chinook salmon goal be updated and that all other escapement goals remain the same. |
