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
Recent declines in the abundance of salmon in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim (AYK) region of western Alaska have created hardships for the people and communities who depend on this resource. In 2002, the AYK Sustainable Salmon Initiative (SSI) was created to undertake research to understand the reasons for this decline and to help support sustainable management in the region. This report makes recommendations for developing the research that the AYK SSI science plan should be based on, and relates the development of a restoration plan to the results of that research.

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.
