SUM^URY OF HARVEST PROVISIONS 



NMFS Proposed Recovery Plan 



Recovery Team Recommendations 



Non Treaty 

 Leaseback/Buyback 

 of Fishing Capacity 



Reduce harvest capacity of ocean troll 

 fishery by 50% by 2002. 



Same as NMFS. 



Alaskan Fall 

 Chinook Harvest 

 Rate 



Canadian fall 

 Chinook Fisheries 



Provide harvest rate schedule for terminal 

 fisheries tied to specific biological criteria 

 and management of ocean fisheries (see 

 below). Implement abundance based 

 approach for management of PSC fisheries to 

 rebuild coastwide natural stocks and achieve 

 escapement goals established by PSC in 

 1984. 



Total harvest rate (ocean and river) less 

 than 50%. Establish harvest rates for all 

 fisheries to minimize incidental take. 



Not specified. Included in 50% rate. 



PFMC Fall Chinook 

 Fisheries 



Not specified. Included in 50% rate. 



Inriver Non Treaty 

 Fall Chinook 

 Fisheries 



Inriver Treaty Fall 

 Chinook Fishery 



The incidental take of listed fall chinook 

 should be limited using a harvest rate 

 schedule tied to Snake River Fall chinook 

 escapement and R/S rate and, secondarily, 

 upriver fail chinook abundance. The 

 minimum harvest rate represents a 61% 

 reduction inriver harvest relative to the 

 previous ten years. 



Not specified. Included in 50% rate. All 

 live release capable gear by 2002. 



Included in 50% rate. All live release 

 capable gear by 2002. 



Inriver Treaty and 

 Non Treaty 

 Commercial and 

 Recreational Sockeye 

 Harvest 



No commercial fishery below confluence 

 of Snake and Columbia. 



Ceremonial and 

 Subsistence Sockeye 

 Fishery 



No commercial fisheries below confluence of 

 Snake and Columbia rivers. Non-treaty 

 limited to 1% incidental take. Treaty limited 

 to 5% total, C&S and incidental rate, until 

 substantial recovery occurs. 



Request the release of marked Snake river 

 sockeye and request reduced take of all 

 sockeye from current levels. 



Non Treaty 

 Columbia River 

 Commercial 

 Gillnetting 



Phase out use of gillnets in the lower 

 Columbia River by 2002. Only approved 

 live capture gear allowed. 



Same as NMFS 



Alternative Fishing 

 Methods 



Evaluate potential for size selective gear. 

 Support development and implementation of 

 selective fishery options and terminal 

 fisheries opportimities. 



Same as NMFS 



Columbia River 

 Fisheries 



Management Plan 

 (CRFMP) 



Modify CRFMP to explicitly provide for the 

 conservationof Snake River salmon. (See 

 species specific recommendations.) 



Same as NMFS 



1% harvest rale (HR) limit for nontreaty 

 incidental impacts and 5% HR limit for 

 treaty C&S and incidental impacts. 



Inriver Spring 

 Chinook Harvest 



Hold to current levels (10-12%).
