Summary
A Regional Advisory Process was held at the Freshwater Institute in Winnipeg to assess anadromous Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) from the Babbage River, Yukon Territory. The meeting was held on February 9–10, 2015 and included participants from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Fisheries Joint Management Committee, Gwich’in Renewable Resources Board, University of Manitoba, British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Parks Canada, and harvesters from Aklavik and Fort McPherson. During the meeting, presentations were made on various topics relevant to the assessment including background information, counts of fish using DIDSON sonar, multiple mark-recapture population estimates, biological information collected during mark-recapture, genetic population structure and effective population size, genetic mixed-stock fishery analysis, and reported coastal harvest. The meeting objectives were met and advice was provided to co-management partners, most importantly that the population was stable and the current level of harvest was sustainable. Publications from the meeting included a Science Advisory Report and Research Documents.
