  1. West Coast Salmon Genetic Stock Identification Collaboration Renee Bellinger, Coordinator

  2. West Coast Collaboration SWFSC NWFSC NWFSC

  3. Resolving the weak-stock problem • Collect fish distribution data at the scale • fish move • Standardize data collection/methodology • Integrate data into a coordinated • coast-wide management system

  4. Mixed Stock Analysis Results (n = 2,413)

  5. ANALYSIS OF WASHINGTON FISHERIES USING GENETICS HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS 1983 Chinook Ocean troll fishery composition 1980’s – 90’s Lower Columbia winter gillnet : optimization of Chinook harvest 1987 – 1991 Strait of Juan de Fuca : tribal and recreational Chinook harvest 1987 – 2005 Determined allocations for Pink salmon fisheries (60,000,000 fish) 1997 – 2001 Columbia River (Zone 6) tribal steelhead fishery composition Recent 2003 – 2006 Commercial Chinook Ocean troll fishery composition 2004 – 2006 Strait of Juan de Fuca mark-selective Chinook fisheries composition 2007 Puget Sound Chinook recreational fishery composition 2006 – 2007 Chinook bycatch in Puget Sound sockeye and pink commercial fisheries 2008 – 2009 Falcon-Leadbetter Collaboration with ODFW/OSU/CRITFC Information provided by Scott M. Blankenship Washington Department Fish and Wildlife Molecular Genetics Laboratory

  6. ANALYSIS OF WASHINGTON FISHERIES USING GENETICS ANTICIPATED • 2009 Determination of harvest composition for Chinook Ocean troll • Near-real time genetic analysis • Considering implementation of GPS time-stamping • 2010 Expanding temporal and geographic scope of Chinook Ocean troll near-real • time genetic analysis ONGOING Extensive genetic reference baseline development for salmonids Development of new analytical methods and data management tools Evaluation of management forecasting model (e.g., FRAM) Evaluation of enhancing current management regime using genetic information Collaboration/coordination with CROOS Information provided by Scott M.
