Oregon Coast Coho Spawner Monitoring Goals and Objectives
Goal(s):
- Provide statistically rigorous information on the status and trend of natural origin coho spawners in the Oregon Coast ESU
Objective(s):
- Estimate the annual abundance of natural origin coho spawners in each of 21 "independent" population areas and 4 dependent population aggregates in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU with a 95% confidence interval of +- 30%.
- Estimate the annual abundance of natural origin coho spawners for the Oregon Coast Coho ESU with a 95% confidence interval of +- 30%.
- Estimate the annual distribution of natural origin coho spawners in the Oregon Coast Coho ESU with the ability to detect an annual change of 30% in distribution at each spatial scale described in objectives 1-3.
Hugh Smith Sockeye Escapement Monitoring Goals and Objectives
Goal(s):
- Assess the status of the Hugh Smith Lake sockeye resource, and determine if the escapement goal was met at the end of the season.
Objective(s):
- Continuously enumerate adult sockeye salmon escapement through the Hugh Smith Lake weir throughout the duration of the spawning season.
- Summarize daily passage numbers to adjust the fishery intensity.
- Estimate total annual spawning abundance of adult (non-jack) sockeye salmon in Hugh Smith Lake by mark-recapture with an estimated coefficient of variation no greater than 15% of the estimate to validate the weir counts.
- Estimate of the annual size of the sockeye salmon spawning escapement at Hugh Smith Lake using either the weir counts or mark-recapture estimates.
- Estimate the annual age, length, and sex composition of adult sockeye salmon returning to Hugh Smith Lake.
