Book Description
The 2018 Yukon Area management report summarizes management activities of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries in the Yukon Area of Alaska. The report provides the Yukon Area status of salmon stocks in 2018 including historical data, presents an outlook for the 2019 fishing season, and provides data on the use of salmon species by commercial, subsistence (Aboriginal), personal use (domestic), and sport (recreational) fisheries. Alaska and Canadian fisheries are summarized because the Yukon River is a transboundary river. The report compiles summaries of selected Yukon River projects (complete documentation of these projects and results may appear in separate reports). Fisheries data in this report supersedes information presented in previous annual management reports. Some of the data presented are preliminary and may be presented with minor differences in future reports. The Yukon Area report is organized into the following sections: (1) Salmon Fisheries presents a description of the area, fishery resources, and fisheries management practices, along with a comprehensive report of the 2018 salmon fisheries, by summer and fall season, and compares 2018 runs with previous years; (2) Other Marine and Freshwater Finfish Fisheries presents a description of the fishery resources and freshwater finfish fisheries other than salmon (i.e., whitefish and lamprey), and (3) the Cape Romanzof District Herring Fishery.
