Book Description
This report provides the Alaska Board of Fisheries with information on Yukon Area salmon stock status, including escapement and harvest data for the January 2023 regulatory meeting. In response to the guidelines established in the Policy for the Management of Sustainable Salmon Fisheries (5 AAC 39.222), the Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) classified the Yukon River Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha stock as a stock of yield concern at its September 2000 work session. An action plan was developed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and acted upon by the board in January 2001. The status as a yield concern was continued for Yukon River Chinook salmon at the January 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019 board meetings. Chinook salmon escapement goal performance has been mixed throughout the past 5 years (2018–2022) throughout the Alaska portion of the Yukon River drainage, but escapement goals were not met from 2020 to 2022. Conservative management actions taken inseason have included full subsistence fishery closures to protect low runs as they migrate upriver. Additionally, Yukon River summer chum, fall chum O. keta, and coho salmon O. kisutch recently experienced a drastic decline since 2020. Most escapement goals for chum and coho salmon have not been achieved since 2020 despite significant subsistence, personal use, and commercial fishing restrictions and closures. Historically, the Yukon River chum and coho salmon stocks have met or exceeded escapement goals and provided for subsistence, personal use, and commercial fisheries, with a few exceptions of decreased production in a couple tributaries.

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 (BOF) classified the Yukon River fall chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta stock as a yield concern and classified the Toklat and Fishing Branch Rivers fall chum salmon stocks as management concerns at the 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 to reassess the stock of concern status. In 2003, the department recommended continuation of the Yukon River fall chum salmon classification as a stock of yield concern, which was supported by the BOF at its January 2004 meeting. The Toklat River stock was removed as a management concern because the BOF realigned the escapement objective from an optimal escapement goal (OEG) to the established biological escapement goal (BEG) which did not fit the criteria of a management concern. However, the Toklat River fall chum salmon stock was included in the drainage-wide yield concern classification. The Fishing Branch River stock was also removed as a management concern because management of that portion of the drainage is covered by an annex to the Pacific Salmon Treaty, the U.S./Canada Yukon River Salmon Agreement (Agreement) which is governed under the authority of the Yukon River Panel (Panel). Based on the much improved run size since 2002 and large available surpluses in 2003, 2005 and 2006 being near the historical yield, the Yukon River fall chum salmon stock no longer meets the stock of yield concern criteria. Therefore, ADF & G recommends the Yukon River fall chum salmon stock no longer be considered as a stock of concern. BEGs for fall chum salmon and the Yukon River Drainage Fall Chum Salmon Management Plan were both reviewed and updated at the January 2004 BOF meeting. Escapement and harvest monitoring projects are in place to aid in managing for sustained yield objectives. Proposal 173 has been submitted to the BOF for considering changes to the Yukon River Coho Salmon Management Plan to coordinate management of the overlapping fall chum and coho salmon fisheries.

Book Description
This report provides the Alaska Board of Fisheries with information on Kuskokwim Area salmon stock status, including escapement and harvest data for the January 2023 regulatory meeting. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is responsible for managing Kuskokwim Area salmon stocks for sustained yield. Subsistence fishing occurs throughout the area whereas commercial salmon fishing is restricted to 4 districts within the Kuskokwim Area. Commercial fishing Districts 1 and 2 are within Kuskokwim River; Districts 4 and 5 are in Kuskokwim Bay and target salmon bound for the Kanektok and Goodnews Rivers. Chinook salmon runs to the Kuskokwim River have been low since 2010, which led to severe restrictions to conserve Chinook salmon from 2014–2022 and Federal Special Actions enacted within the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. Since 2014, subsistence harvest of Chinook salmon has been well below established amounts reasonably necessary for subsistence (ANS), and commercial and sport fisheries have been closed during the Chinook salmon run. Chum salmon runs to the Kuskokwim River have declined to some of the lowest runs on record since 2020. Abundance of coho salmon to the Kuskokwim River have been below average since 2018, with 2022 being the lowest on record. Sockeye salmon abundance from 2016–2020 was average to above average for both lake and river-type life histories. The 2021 and 2022 sockeye salmon runs were mixed throughout the drainage with above-average lake-type abundance and below-average river-type abundance.

Book Description
The Yukon River Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of the United States and Canada meets twice a year to analyze and discuss harvest and escapement goals, management trends, postseason reviews, preseason outlooks, and results of cooperative research projects for Canadian-origin Yukon River salmon. This report summarizes the status of Chinook Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho O. kisutch, and summer and fall chum salmon O. keta stocks in 2021, presents a 2022 season outlook, and provides data about salmon harvests in commercial, subsistence, First Nations, personal use, domestic, and sport or public angling fisheries. Summaries of Yukon River research projects are also included. For 2021, the preliminary estimate of Chinook salmon (mainstem) spawning escapement in Canada was 31,452 fish, which was below the interim management escapement goal (IMEG) range of 42,500–55,000 fish. A preliminary estimate of the total Canadian-origin Chinook salmon run was 32,972 fish. The preliminary estimate of fall chum salmon spawning escapement in the Canadian mainstem Yukon River was approximately 23,170 fish, which was below the IMEG range of 70,000–104,000 fish. The preliminary estimate of fall chum salmon spawning escapement in the Fishing Branch River (Porcupine River), obtained from a weir count was 2,413 fish, which was below the IMEG range of 22,000–49,000 fish. Recommended interim management escapement goals for Canadian-origin mainstem fall chum salmon and Fishing Branch (Porcupine River) fall chum salmon in 2022 remain the same as for 2021. The JTC recommended a new escapement goal for Canadian-origin Yukon River Chinook salmon of 52,500 with an acceptable deviation range of 42,500–62,500. The Yukon River Panel will be presented with the new Chinook salmon escapement goal recommendation for consideration at their 2022 pre-season meeting.
