Science Response 2018/035

Science information to support consultations on BC Chinook Salmon fishery management measures in 2018

Context

The 2018 draft Integrated Fisheries Management Plans (IFMP) for Pacific Salmon include a number of proposed fisheries management measures for Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in 2018. Fisheries Management has requested that DFO Science provide information (trends in abundance, productivity and current exploitation) for key Chinook Salmon management units to support consultations on potential additional BC Chinook Salmon fishery management measures in 2018.

This Science Response (SR) represents the best available science information on Chinook Salmon at present compiled on a short timeline. Therefore, the data and interpretations presented here are subject to change as new information becomes available.

This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process in March 2018 on Science information to support consultations on BC Chinook Salmon fishery management measures in 2018.
