Steelhead Abundance Matrix?
13
• Upriver summer steelhead are managed in two component indices: • A‐Index steelhead• B‐Index steelhead
• Both are present during the proposed time block and should therefore be considered.
![Page 50: 2021 Sport Fishing Regulations - dfw.state.or.us](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020706/61fd31ef64488f6c786b6843/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Steelhead Abundance Matrix?
14
• Potential implementation considerations• Variability in annual returns over time• Refinements in genetic tools and management techniques
• 2008 – 2019 timeframe satisfies both considerations• Advances in parental‐based genetic tagging (aka PBT) allow enumeration of true wild component from 2008 through present
• 2008‐19 returns comparable to longer time series• Staff would propose using combined A/B wild preseason forecast if an abundance based trigger were implemented
