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 2000, the board classified Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta as a stock of yield concern. An action plan was developed for these stocks by the department and acted upon by the board in January 2001. Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon have maintained yield concern classification throughout subsequent board cycles. Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon runs have improved during the last five years and the department recommended discontinuing Norton Sound Subdistricts 2 and 3 chum salmon as a yield concern during the board work session in October 2018.

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 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.

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 Southeast Alaska, chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) spawn in more than 1,200 streams. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game maintains a standardized survey program to index spawning chum salmon abundance at 87 summer-run and seven fall-run streams. Lower-bound sustainable escapement goals are established for summer-run stocks comprising aggregates of index streams over three broad subregions (Southern Southeast, Northern Southeast Inside, and Northern Southeast Outside), and sustainable escapement goal ranges are established for five fall-run stocks that support directed fisheries (Cholmondeley Sound, Port Camden, Security Bay, Excursion River, and Chilkat River). Summer-run chum salmon escapement goals were met in all of the past five years in the Southern Southeast Subregion, four of the past five years in the Northern Southeast Inside Subregion, and three of the past five years in the Northern Southeast Outside Subregion. Escapement goals were met for the five fall-run stocks 83% of the time over the past five years. No Southeast Alaska stocks of chum salmon currently meet the criteria for stocks of concern as defined by the State of Alaska’s Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222). We reviewed chum salmon escapement goals and recommend no changes at this time. The annual common property harvest of chum salmon in Southeast Alaska averaged 7.7 million fish per year since 2010; hatchery-produced fish accounted for an average 86% of that harvest. Increased straying of hatchery chum salmon into streams in the Northern Southeast Outside Subregion from a new release site at Crawfish Inlet has complicated the assessment of wild chum salmon in that subregion and additional sampling is needed to determine the variation and geographic extent of straying from the new release site.
