Table 12-1— Recent average, 

 current potential, and long-term 

 potential yields of salmon in the 

 Pacific coast fishery in numbers 

 of salmon. The LTPY, CPY, and 

 RAY for the unit equals the sum 

 of the species' LTPY's, CPY's, and 

 RAYs. 



Long-term potential yield (LTPY) = 1 1 ,806,000 

 Current potential yield (CPY) = 1 1 ,806,000 



Recent average yield (RAY)' = 1 1 ,268,000

2 Long-term goals for some stocks include doubling of production, primarily through large-scale improvements in freshwater habitat 



If successful, this would dramatically increase LTPY.
