producing units (Domsea, Lummi Indian Tribes, and Small Indian 

 Tribes), methods, estimated harvest, and factors affecting market 

 potential are also discussed. Restaurant reactions concerned 

 ways of preparing, menu description, relative price, lunch vs. 

 supper offerings, packaging, guality, size, color, boned vs. 

 unboned forms, and popularity. Over two-thirds of the 

 restaurants charged more for pan-sized salmon than other 

 varieties of fish on the menu, but the product is discussed in 

 terms of competition primarily with trout and fresh or frozen 

 salmon items from larger fish. The pan-sized salmon was dressed, 

 heads-on, eviscerated, glazed, and sized (6-8, 8-10, 10-12, or 

 1 2- 1 4 ounces) by the producer (Domsea) .

Eioeconomic contribution of Columbia River hatchery coho salmon, 



1965 and 1966 broods, to the Pacific salmon fisheries. 



U.S. Dep. Commer., Natl. Mar. Fish. Serv., Fishery Bull. 72(1) : 



139-169. 



Marked coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, smolts of the 1965 and 



1966 broods were released from 20 hatcheries on four sections of 

 the Columbia River and tributaries. Commercial and sport 

 fisheries in marine waters from Pelican, Alaska, to Avila Beach, 

 Calif., and on the Columbia River were sampled during 1967-69 for 

 marks. The net value of the estimated total catch of hatchery 

 fish was calculated after adjusting for the effects of marking. 

 Also estimated for each brood were the total costs of rearing 

 including amortized capital outlay. Total benefits of $8.58 

 million for the 1965 brood and $9.11 million for the 1966 brood 

 were estimated as applicable to normal production years when no 

 marking takes place. Corresponding costs were estimated as $1 .29 

 million for the 1965 brood and $1.23 million for the 1966 brood. 

 Estimated benefit/cost ratios for the 20 Columbia River coho 

 salmon hatcheries, as operated under production regimes 

 prevailing during the study, may prove useful in decisions 

 affecting management policies. The ratios are 6.6/1 for the 1965 

 brood, 7.4/1 for the 1966 brood, and 7.0/1 for both broods 

 combined. (Authors' abstract.)
