The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Department of Fisheries and Oceans (Canada), Taku Tlingit First Nations, and Tahltan First Nations work together to estimate harvest and escapements of Pacific salmon returning to the Stikine and Taku rivers along with other transboundary rivers in Southeast Alaska. Part of both the U.S. and Canadian fisheries involves commercial fisheries of salmon returning to these rivers. For the Canadian fisheries these commercial and aboriginal fisheries take place inriver and the general areas are outlined in this layer. For more information on the estimated harvest and escapements of Pacific salmon including harvest in these Canadian commercial and aboriginal fisheries please see Report TCTR (15)-4, "Pacific Salmon Commission Joint Transboundary Technical Committee, Estimates of Transboundary River Salmon Production, Harvest and Escapement and a Reveiw of Joint Enhancement Activities in 2012" , The report can be accessed at this link: http://www.psc.org/pubs/TCTR15-4.pdf. |
