Estimation of Sockeye Salmon Escapement in Mortensens Creek, Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, 2006: and 2001 to 2006 Run Comparisons. Alaska Fisheries Data Series, Number 2007-7

摘要

The USFWS is responsible for management of subsistence fisheries occurring in Mortensens Creek and prior to 2006 was also responsible for management of subsistence fisheries in Mortensens Lagoon. The ADFG manages commercial and sport fisheries in Mortensens Creek and Lagoon, and beginning in 2006 is also responsible for managing subsistence fisheries in Mortensens Lagoon. Subsistence fishing in Mortensens Creek and Lagoon requires a permit issued by the ADFG, and current regulations limit subsistence harvest in Mortensens Lagoon to 50 salmon per permit (5 AAC 01.423). This report provides results from the 2006 field season, and also provides an overall project summary and run comparisons for sockeye and coho salmon, 2001 to 2006. Detailed information on previous years can be found in the individual annual reports.
