Proceedings of the Pacific Regional Peer Review Meeting on the Development of a Biological Escapement Goal for Taku River Sockeye Salmon; November 5-6, 2019
Chairperson: John Candy
Editors: Cameron Freshwater & John Candy
Summary
These proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and conclusions that resulted from a Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meeting on November 5, 2019 at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo, B.C. A working paper to identify the spawning escapements that would produce maximum sustainable yields along with other appropriate biological benchmarks for the Canadian-origin Taku River Sockeye salmon stock aggregate was presented for peer review.
The major topics discussed included the best means of referencing data from a related analysis (Pestal et al. 2020) that were necessary to complete the working paper, but were not yet published at the time of the peer review, and the sensitivity of model estimates to uncertain data at the beginning of the escapement time series.
In-person participation included Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN), a consultant, and academia.
The Research Document and Proceedings will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
