To measure the actual run coming back and to reduce the uncertainty in the estimate, staff from the Fraser River Panel are monitoring the number of Sockeye return at several places throughout the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Johnstone Strait and the lower Fraser River. Data from test fishing will be used to update the in-season estimate of run-size. This is important to know because the run size numbers and therefore the harvestable surplus will be changing throughout the season.
More information will be posted as the test fishing season and inseason estimates develop.
There are 44 documents currently available in the Fraser River Sockeye and Pink Salmon (2023) portion of the website.
