Book Description
In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 5 (Shaktoolik) and Subdistrict 6 (Unalakleet) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha stock as a stock of concern, specifically a yield concern, at its January 2004 meeting. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2004. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and in the case of Norton Sound Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2007, the BOF continued the Subdistrict 5 and Subdistrict 6 Chinook salmon classification as a stock of yield concern and adopted a Chinook salmon management plan (5 AAC 04.395) in order to increase escapements and restore the stock to historical levels of abundance. Escapement goals were achieved in 2007 and 2009, but only as a result of the subsistence fishing schedule stipulated in the management plan, inriver gillnet mesh size restrictions, and early closures to subsistence and sport fisheries. Given the continued inability to maintain near average yields despite the use of specific management measures, the Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon stock continues to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP. Therefore, ADF&G recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification. ADF&G is recommending changes to the management plan in order to ensure commercial fisheries directed on chum O. keta and pink salmon O. gorbuscha are prosecuted in a manner that does not negatively affect the Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon subsistence fishery and escapement.

Book Description
In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified Norton Sound Subdistrict 5 (Shaktoolik) and Norton Sound Subdistrict 6 (Unalakleet) king salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha as a stock of yield concern at its January 2004 meeting. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) and acted upon by the board. The board continued the Subdistrict 5 and Subdistrict 6 king salmon classification as a stock of yield concern in 2007 and adopted a king salmon management plan (5 AAC 04.395) in order to increase escapements and restore the stock to historical levels of abundance. In 2010 and 2013, the board continued the stock of concern designation and modified the management plan to provide direction for targeting commercial chum (O. keta) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon fisheries in times of low king salmon abundance. Gillnet mesh size restrictions and fishery closures were required to achieve the North River escapement goal in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015 and 2018. Escapement goals were not achieved in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2017 despite similar conservation measures. The 2011 escapement could not be determined. From 2016-2018 Subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon stock yields have remained well below historical average (1994-1999), despite the use of specific management measures. Therefore, Subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon continue to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP and the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification.

Given the continued inability to maintain near average yields despite the use of specific management measures, subdistricts 5 and 6 king salmon continue to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP. Therefore, the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification. A key challenge to fisheries management is developing strategies to allow commercial fisheries directed on chum and pink salmon while minimizing adverse impacts on reaching king salmon escapement goals and meeting subsistence needs in subdistricts 5 and 6.

Book Description
The Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222) directs the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) to assess salmon stocks during Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) regulatory cycles, to identify stocks of concern and to reassess the stock of concern status for stocks previously designated. In response to the guidelines established in the SSFP (5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified Norton Sound Subdistrict 5 (Shaktoolik) and Norton Sound Subdistrict 6 (Unalakleet) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha as a stock of yield concern at its January 2004 meeting. An action plan was developed by the department and acted upon by the board. The board continued the Subdistrict 5 and Subdistrict 6 Chinook salmon classification as a stock of yield concern in 2007 and adopted a Chinook salmon management plan (5 AAC 04.395) to increase escapements and restore the stock to historical levels of abundance. In 2010 and 2013, the board continued the stock of concern designation and modified the management plan to provide direction for targeting commercial chum (O. keta) and pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon fisheries in times of low Chinook salmon abundance. Gillnet mesh size restrictions and fishery closures were required to achieve the North River escapement goal in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019. Escapement goals were not achieved in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, or 2020–2022 despite similar conservation measures. The 2011 escapement could not be determined. From 2018–2022, Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon stock yields have remained well below historical averages (1994–1999), despite the use of specific management measures. Therefore, Subdistricts 5 and 6 Chinook salmon continue to meet the definition for a stock of yield concern as defined in the SSFP and the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification.

Book Description
In response to guidelines established in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 (Nome) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta stock as a stock of management concern at its September 2000 work session. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2001. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and, in the case of Subdistrict 1 chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2003, ADF&G recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of management concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2004 meeting. A majority of chum salmon escapement goals were achieved in Subdistrict 1 from 2002-2006. Hence, in January 2007, the BOF classified Subdistrict 1 chum salmon stock of yield concern. Since 2004, escapement has been met in Subdistrict 1, except for 2009, when it fell 7% short of the lower end of the escapement goal range of 23,000-35,000. The recent yield remains below historical levels despite use of specific management measures. Based on the definitions provided in the SSFP, ADF&G recommends continuing the stock of concern classification of Subdistrict 1 chum salmon as a stock of yield concern. The department recommends that management continue under the current plans through the next board cycle.

Book Description
In response to the guidelines established in Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; ADF&G 2000), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) classified Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 (Golovin and Moses Point subdistricts, respectively) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta, as a stock of concern, specifically a yield concern, at its September 2000 work session. A "yield concern" is defined as, "a concern arising from a chronic inability, despite the use of specific management measures, to maintain expected yields, or harvestable surpluses, above a stock's escapement needs; a yield concern is less severe than a management concern". An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and acted upon by the BOF in January 2001. The SSFP directs ADF&G to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the BOF regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and in the case of Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2003, ADF&G recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of yield concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2004 meeting. Likewise in 2006, ADF&G recommended continuation of this classification as a stock of yield concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2007 meeting. Since that time, chum salmon yield in Subdistricts 2 and 3 has shown little improvement. The Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon stock continue to meet the definition for a yield concern as defined in SSFP and ADF&G recommends continuing the stock of concern classification.

Book Description
In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (SSFP; 5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified the Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 (Nome) chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta stock as a stock of management concern and Subdistricts 2 (Golovin) and 3 (Elim) as a stock of yield concern at its September 2000 work session. Action plans were developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (department) and acted upon by the board in January 2001. The SSFP directs the department to assess salmon stocks in areas addressed during the board regulatory cycle to identify stocks of concern and, in the case of Subdistricts 1-3 chum salmon, to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2004, the classification for Subdistrict 1 chum salmon as a stock of management concern and for Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon as a stock of yield concern was continued by the board at its January 2004 meeting. A majority of chum salmon escapement goals were achieved in Subdistrict 1 from 2002 to 2006. Hence, in January 2007, the board classified the Subdistrict 1 chum salmon stock as a yield concern, rather than a management concern. In 2010, the department recommended continuation of classification of this stock as a yield concern, which was supported by the board at its January 2010 meeting. Likewise, the Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon stock has been maintained as a yield concern classification. Since 2004, the subdistrict-wide escapement goal has been met in Subdistrict 1, except for 2009, when assessed escapement fell 7% short of the lower end of the escapement goal range of 23,000 to 35,000. Escapements within individual rivers of Subdistrict 1 have been variable. Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon runs have been more volatile and have only reached sustainable escapement goals (SEGs) in 2 of the last 5 years. Based on the definitions provided in the SSFP, the department recommends continuing the stock of yield concern classification for Norton Sound Subdistrict 1 and Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon.
