The MCC Salmon Committee submitted a Letter to Barry Rosenberger regarding pre-season management adjustment applied to late run sockeye to address concerns about opening fisheries prior to establishing a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) using defensible in-season run size estimates. If a pre-season management adjustment is made, the Committee strongly recommends the use of a precautionary estimate that could adequately account for the potential of a devastatingly low return of late-run sockeye and high en-route mortality. See the full letter for more details. |
