Book excerpt: The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries, monitors annual spawning escapements of Pacific salmon within the Yakutat Management Area. Aerial and ground surveys are methods used to develop escapement estimates of sockeye Oncorhynchus nerka, Chinook O. Tshawytcha, and coho O. kisutch salmon. Inseason assessment of salmon runs plays an important role in the management of the Yakutat commercial, subsistence, and sport fisheries where harvest adjustments can be made in order to meet escapement goals. This report provides operational guidelines for the locations and methods for conducting systematic surveys for obtaining peak index counts of local salmon stocks.
