Pacific salmon catch monitoring programs
Catch monitoring programs collect information to estimate the number of salmon caught, the number released, fishing effort, and the stock and age composition of the catch in order to evaluate harvest impacts on stocks. Catch, releases and fishing effort are estimated through a combination of harvester reporting and survey methods. Age and stock composition is estimated by sampling catch for scales, DNA, coded-wire tags.
