A Risk Assessment Model for Skeena River Sockeye Salmon

This paper presents a risk assessment simulation model for Skeena River sockeye salmon harvested in marine and in-river fisheries in northern British Columbia. This paper also provides production and stock status background for Skeena River sockeye lakes. The model can be used to generate probabilistic statements about stock-specific catch, escapement, harvest rates, and fishery values under different or optional fishing scenarios. The model can also be used to evaluate re-building and recovery options.
