Book excerpt: In December of 2016, ADF&G released a report that used genetic MSA to estimate the stock composition and stock-specific harvest of commercial sockeye salmon harvests in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA) from 2014 to 2016 (Shedd et al. 2016). The results were originally presented to the Alaska Board of Fisheries at the KMA meeting in January, 2017, and then again at the UCI meeting in February, 2017. Nonlocal harvest of Cook Inlet sockeye salmon in KMA commercial salmon fisheries from 2014 to 2016 was substantial, but varied in magnitude both spatially and temporally (Shedd et al. 2016). Given the level of nonlocal harvest of Cook Inlet sockeye salmon, the Alaska Board of Fisheries asked ADF&G to further separate genetic estimates of Cook Inlet harvest into 4 subregional reporting groups: Kenai, Kasilof, Susitna, and Other Cook Inlet. ADF&G is preparing and will release this analysis as an addendum to the Shedd et al. (2016) report. In June of 2017, the Kodiak Fisheries Work Group requested from ADF&G overall stock-specific harvest estimates from all UCI sockeye salmon commercial fishery harvests that have been analyzed to date, including unpublished estimates from 2012 to 2016. The request included a table of stock-specific harvest estimates for the total UCI sockeye salmon commercial fishery in each year and a stacked bar plot of the estimates. This report serves 2 purposes: 1) it provides the Kodiak Fisheries Work Group with the data they requested, and 2) it is a medium for making currently unpublished estimates publicly available.
