Climate Change Assessment Origins
FS assessment of climate change Annual variation in salmon and air temperature Exceptional salmon database
Prince William Sound Salmon Data
- 211 survey sites x 5 - Fishery impact rates - 30 years - Hatchery fraction
(600m pinks, 100m chum)
Population Model Productivity Estimate Use
Ln(Rec) = [Ln(Spwn) + Ln(α) – βS] + γT
plus hatchery fraction = Adventure !
Problems and Errors?
Not many points at Ph > 0.30 Harvest rate estimate creates bias? Crude analytical approach Plus …..
Possible Explanations?
Genetic – mate selection Genetic – spawn timing, damage wild redds,
poor fry survival Ecological Other?
