This book was released on 2014 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The salmon hatchery program in Alaska is governed by policies, plans, and regulations that emphasize protection of wild salmon stocks. A rotational series of hatchery evaluations will examine each hatchery for consistency with those policies and prescribed management practices. The evaluation includes a review of hatchery management plans and permits, an assessment of each hatchery program’s consistency with statewide policies, and recommendations to address any deficiencies found. Management plans and permits were examined to determine whether they were current, consistent with each other, and accurately described hatchery operations. This report reviews the Snettisham Salmon Hatchery located in Speel Arm of Port Snettisham about 30 air miles south of Juneau in Southeast Alaska. The hatchery was constructed in 1979 by the State of Alaska and remains under state ownership. The hatchery initially produced chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta for commercial harvest, and coho salmon O. kisutch and Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha for sport and commercial harvest. Steelhead O. mykiss and Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma eggs were also incubated at the facility. The hatchery was converted to sockeye salmon production in 1988. Hatchery operations were transferred to Douglas Island Pink and Chum Incorporated, a private nonprofit corporation, in 1996. The sockeye salmon hatchery broodstock were derived from Speel Lake, a water body located near the hatchery. The facility releases smolt from the hatchery, from sites in Speel Arm, and from Sweetheart Lake in Port Snettisham. The hatchery also serves as a central incubation facility for several projects that involve collecting eggs from Canadian Lakes in the Taku and Stikine River drainages, incubating the eggs until hatching at Snettisham Hatchery, and releasing fry back to their natal lakes or to nearby lakes in systems with barriers that make the lakes inaccessible to returning adult sockeye salmon.

The facility is located in Gastineau Channel on the Juneau waterfront in Southeast Alaska, and currently rears chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta, coho salmon O. kisutch, and Chinook salmon O. tshawytscha. The facility was constructed by DIPAC in 1990.The original broodstock for chum and coho salmon were from several area stocks. Chinook salmon broodstock originated from Andrew Creek, a tributary of the Stikine River. Juvenile salmon are released from the hatchery and release sites near Juneau and Skagway. The hatchery is permitted to collect up to 125 million chum, 50 million pink, 1.5 million coho and 1.25 million Chinook salmon eggs. From 2008 through 2012, adult runs averaged about 3.5 million chum, 33 thousand coho and 5 thousand Chinook salmon. Some projects were not properly permitted and egg takes for some projects regularly exceeded levels allowed by permit in earlier years, but all issues were later rectified. The basic management plan for the hatchery should be updated with a description of current permit conditions and operations.

This report reviews the Port St. Nicholas salmon hatchery located in Craig, Alaska. The hatchery was constructed in 2005 by the Prince of Wales Hatchery Association, a private nonprofit aquaculture association. The hatchery serves as a central incubation site for release of Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha into Port St. Nicholas and Coffman Cove on Prince of Wales Island. The hatchery is also permitted to release chum salmon O. keta from Port Asumcion on Baker Island but has yet to do so. No broodstock is collected from Port St. Nicholas salmon hatchery returns. Eggs will be received in perpetuity from approved facilities in the region. A portion of the Chinook salmon releases are marked with coded wire tags and an adipose fin clip. Chum salmon will be thermal otolith marked. Chinook salmon are sampled in the commercial and sport fisheries to assess hatchery contribution. Streams near the release sites are monitored for Chinook salmon straying. Since the hatchery permit was issued in 2004, the basic management plan for the hatchery should be updated with the hatchery permit amendments made since then, including the Coffman Cove Chinook salmon program and the chum salmon program.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The salmon hatchery program in Alaska is governed by policies, plans, and regulations that emphasize protection of wild salmon stocks. A rotational series of hatchery evaluations will examine each hatchery for consistency with those policies and prescribed management practices. The evaluation includes a review of hatchery management plans and permits, an assessment of each hatchery program's consistency with statewide policies, and recommendations to address any deficiencies found. Management plans and permits were examined to determine whether they were current, consistent with each other, and accurately described hatchery operations. The Klawock River salmon hatchery in Klawock, Alaska, is one of the few hatcheries in Alaska located on a major salmon spawning river. The hatchery was constructed in 1977 and operated by ADF&G from 1978 to 1992. In 1996, the Prince of Wales Hatchery Association, a private nonprofit aquaculture association, took over operations. The hatchery currently rears coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch that contribute to commercial, sport, and subsistence fisheries. Eggs are collected from returns of hatchery-spawned and naturally spawned fish, and incubated and reared in the hatchery. Some fry are reared to smolt in saltwater net pens at the river mouth, some fry are released from the hatchery into Klawock Lake in mid-May, and the remainder are reared in net pens in the lake and released into the lake in June. Fish will also be released from Port Asumcion on Baker Island. A portion of all releases are marked with coded wire tags and adipose finclip, and all releases are otolith thermal marked. Coho salmon are sampled in the commercial fisheries to assess hatchery contribution. The basic management plan for the hatchery should be updated to reflect changes to the program since the BMP was issued in 1996.

This report reviews the Sheep Creek Salmon Hatchery (SCH) operated by the Douglas Island Pink and Chum Incorporated (DIPAC), a private nonprofit corporation. The facility is located in Gastineau Channel on the Juneau waterfront in Southeast Alaska. SCH was constructed by DIPAC in 1980 and is currently permitted to rear coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch, and pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbusha.The original broodstock for chum, pink, and coho salmon were from several area stocks. Juvenile salmon hatched at SCH were released from the hatchery and several release sites near Juneau. Chinook salmon smolts incubated and reared at other Southeast Alaska hatcheries were released from SCH saltwater netpens. Hatchery operations were largely discontinued beginning in 1997. There is no egg incubation at the site today, but chum salmon incubated at Macaulay Salmon Hatchery (MSH) are reared and released from saltwater netpens at Sheep Creek. Chum salmon capacity at SCH was transferred to MSH in 2001. The current capacity for coho salmon at SCH is 150,000 eggs. The permitted capacity for pink salmon is uncertain from review of hatchery permitting documents. The basic management plan for SCH should be updated to reflect the current status of the hatchery and to clarify the current permitted pink salmon egg capacity.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The salmon hatchery program in Alaska is governed by policies, plans, and regulations that emphasize protection of wild salmon stocks. This report reviews the Sheldon Jackson salmon hatchery located in Sitka, Alaska, for consistency with those policies and prescribed management practices. The hatchery was constructed in 1975 and permitted to Sheldon Jackson College, where it served primarily as an education component of the college. In 2010, Sitka Sound Science Center was permitted to operate the facility after Sheldon Jackson College closed. The hatchery continues to serve primarily as an education and research facility. The facility produces pink, coho and chum salmon. The even-year pink salmon ancestral stock is from the Indian River, as is the ancestral coho stock. The odd-year pink salmon stock originated from nearby Starrigavin River. The chum salmon ancestral stock is comprised of several donor stocks from rivers in Sitka Sound. These stocks have been produced at the hatchery since the late 1970s and have intermingled with Indian River stocks for about 3 decades. A portion of the coho salmon releases are marked with coded wire tags and adipose finclip. All pink and chum salmon are thermal otolith marked. Coho salmon are sampled in the commercial fisheries to assess contribution. Three area streams are monitored for straying. The basic management plan for the hatchery should be updated to reflect current hatchery operations. Egg take procedures should be reviewed to ensure egg-take numbers do not exceed permitted capacity. The need for sampling the Indian River escapement for hatchery strays should be reviewed in light of the integration of the hatchery and Indian River stocks since the 1970s.

Book excerpt: The salmon hatchery program in Alaska is governed by policies, plans, and regulations that emphasize protection of wild salmon stocks. A rotational series of hatchery evaluations will examine each hatchery for consistency with those policies and prescribed management practices. The evaluation includes a review of hatchery management plans and permits, an assessment of each hatchery program's consistency with statewide policies, and recommendations to address any deficiencies found. This report reviews the Sawmill Creek salmon hatchery (SCH) located in Sitka, Alaska. The hatchery was constructed in 2002-2003 by the Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association, a regional private nonprofit aquaculture association. The hatchery serves as a satellite facility to Medvejie Creek Hatchery (MCH). Broodstock is collected at MCH and eggs transferred to SCH for incubation and hatching. Some fry are released at MCH for broodstock returns. Other releases are offsite. SCH is permitted to produce coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch and chum salmon O. keta primarily for commercial harvest. Coho salmon releases are permitted from MCH and Deep Inlet. Chum salmon releases are permitted from Crawfish Inlet. A portion of the coho salmon releases are marked with coded wire tags and adipose finclip. All salmon incubated at SCH are thermal otolith marked. Coho and chum salmon are sampled in the commercial fisheries to assess contribution. Three area streams are monitored for straying. The basic management plan for the hatchery should be updated to reflect current hatchery operations. Language in the Phase III Southeast Alaska Comprehensive Salmon regarding hatchery operations in wilderness areas of the Tongass National Forest should be revisited by the Regional Planning Team for clarification to current federal law. Straying assessment methodology in Salmon Lake and Sawmill Creek should be reexamined to provide more meaningful data to achieve monitoring objectives.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The salmon hatchery program in Alaska is governed by policies, plans, and regulations that emphasize protection of wild salmon stocks. A rotational series of hatchery evaluations will examine each hatchery for consistency with those policies and prescribed management practices. The evaluation includes a review of hatchery management plans and permits, an assessment of each hatchery program's consistency with statewide policies, and recommendations to address any deficiencies found. Management plans and permits were examined to determine whether they were current, consistent with each other, and accurately described hatchery operations. This report reviews the Haines Projects located in the Chilkat and Klehini river watersheds near Haines, Alaska. The Haines Projects operate under a private nonprofit hatchery permit issued to the Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association, and include spring-fed streamside incubators for fall-run chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta and early to mid-run sockeye salmon O. nerka. Gametes are collected from broodstock caught near each incubator site. Fertilized eggs are placed in the incubators and the fry volitionally leave the following spring. Egg to fry survival is estimated by counting dead eggs remaining after fry leave the incubators in the spring. The number of eggs permitted for incubation is minimal compared to total production in the drainage, and returns from the fry releases do not impact fisheries management. Releases have been otolith marked in only a few years, and therefore success of project and contribution to the fishery is unknown. The sockeye and chum salmon incubator programs have been suspended by Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association but remain permitted.
Book Synopsis Salmon Hatcheries in Alaska - a Review of the Implementation of Plans, Permits, and Policies Designed to Provide Protection for Wild Stocks by : Danielle F. Evenson
Download or read book Salmon Hatcheries in Alaska - a Review of the Implementation of Plans, Permits, and Policies Designed to Provide Protection for Wild Stocks written by Danielle F. Evenson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The salmon hatchery program in Alaska was initiated in the 1970s to rehabilitate depleted salmon fisheries. Learning from problems encountered with the robust hatchery programs in place in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska's program was envisioned and proactively designed to protect wild salmon stocks. Here we build upon a previous review of the precautionary plans, permits, and policies that have guided salmon enhancement in Alaska in a manner that protects wild stocks. These consist of development of rigorous permitting processes that includes genetics, pathology, and fishery management reviews; policies that require hatcheries to be located away from significant wild stocks; use of local brood sources; laws that give priority to wild stocks in fisheries; provisions for marking of hatchery fish; and as necessary, requirements for special studies on hatchery/wild stock interactions. Now that statewide annual production has largely stabilized, and amid rising concerns for effects on wild salmon populations, a review of the implementation of Alaska's precautionary approach is both timely and warranted. In this paper we explore procedures, practices, fishery management, and stock assessment relevant to the hatchery program for consistency with State of Alaska policies using two case studies--Southeast Alaska Chinook salmon and Prince William Sound pink salmon.
