Estimates of Angling Effort, Catch, Harvest and Population Structure of Coho Salmon Caught and Harvested by Sport and Subsistence Fisheries at the Outlet of Becharof Lake, Becharof National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska 1994 and 1995

摘要

The Becharof Lake drainage supports fish populations that sustain subsistence and sport fisheries in-river and commercial fisheries in saltwater. The lack of specific in-river harvest data prompted the King Salmon Fishery Resource Office to conduct a creel survey to assess in-river fishery impacts to the coho salmon ('Oncorhynchus kisutch') population in the Egegik River from the outlet of Becharof Lake to 6 km downstream in 1994 and 1995.
