| Abstract: | Genetic tissue and age, sex, and length information will be collected from harvested Chinook salmon in the Upper Cook Inlet Eastside set gillnet (ESSN) commercial fishery in 2014. The primary goals of the study are to estimate the proportion of Chinook salmon harvested in the ESSN commercial fishery by reporting group for 5 temporal and geographic strata. Harvest will be apportioned into the following 4 reporting groups: Kenai River mainstem, Kasilof River mainstem, Kenai River tributaries, and Cook Inlet other. Age, sex, and length composition will be estimated for each temporal and geographic stratum and for the entire 2014 season. |
