| Abstract: | Coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch returns to Deep Creek were assessed with a weir to provide inriver return and escapement, from August 2-September 10, 2001, and from August 1-September 11, 2002. In 2001, escapement was 3,745 coho salmon; escapement was 6,089 coho salmon in 2002. Females comprised 44% (SE = 3%) and 46% (SE = 2%) of the 2001 and 2002 coho salmon escapement, respectively. The age class composition of the coho salmon escapements were dominated by age 2.1, accounting for 84% (SE = 2%) of the 2001 escapement and 87% (SE = 2%) of the 2002 escapement. |
