Page 241, Table 1.2-12. Numbers of Upriver Wild Fall Chinook Salmon Adult 



Catch and Estimated Escapement for the Columbia River, 

 1971-90. 



This table compares Columbia upriver bright fall chinook catches and escapement and 

 determines annually if the escapement goal has been met. The authors have 

 erroneously assumed all URB are wild. Data is from PFMC's 1990 "Review Report." 

 There are two errors in the data presented. The escapement goal used to compare to 

 escapements beginning in 1971 was established in the early 1980's. 



Page 242, Table 1.2-13. Numbers of Upriver WUd Sockeye Salmon Adult 



Catch and Estimated ELscapement for the Columbia 



River, 1970- 90. 



This table (similar to the previous four) lists sockeye catch and escapement and 

 compares it to a goal (a goal that was established in the early 1980" s). This table is an 

 accurate reproduction of 1970-90 data from Table 41 in ODFW and WDF (1991), 

 erroneously cited. To compare 1970's data to an early 1980's goal does not make 

 much difference in this situation as the 1970's sockeye returns in most years were 

 below fishable levels even under the 1970's goal. 



Page 243, Table 1.2-14. Estimated Harvest Rates for Selected Oregon Adult 



Salmonids, 1961-90. 



This table attempts to show total fishery harvest rates on total Columbia coho (early 

 and late stock combined), lower river wild fail chinook, and upriver bright fall chinook 

 production. It should be noted that the table is titled "Oregon Adult Salmonids"; 

 however, over half of the Columbia River coho originate in Washington as does the 

 vast majority of lower river wild and upriver bright fall chinook. 



The Department checked the harvest rates using ODFW's data sources: 



7. Ocean harvest rates for coho; 

 1961-69 Did not investigate 



1970-89 Agree for 1 1 years and for the remaining 9 years 



disagree, but only by .01 each year 

 1990 ODFW estimates .61 



8. Columbia River coho; 



1961-69 Did not investigate 



1970-89 Agree for 17 yean and for the remaining 3 years 



disagree, but only by 0. 1 each year 

 1990 ODFW estimates .45 



9. Total coho 



l%l-69 Did not investigate 



1970-89 Agree for 19 vean and for the remaining year disagree, 



but only by .()1
