If this is truly a needed conservation measure then let's hope that all fishing sectors are held to the 25-35% reduction!

Subject: FN0404-Fraser River Spring 5(2) and Summer 5(2) Chinook - Abundance Update - May 23, 2018
This notice provides information on the current in-season abundance of
Fraser River Spring 5-2 and Summer 5-2 Chinook.
The model used to predict the return of Fraser River Spring 5-2 and Summer 5-2
Chinook uses data from the standard Chinook net fished by the Albion Test
fishery and does not incorporate catch from the multi-panel net (which is
currently fished on alternate days). The standard Chinook net is an 8 inch
(approx. 20 cm) mesh. Catch and effort data are cumulated by week, starting
the first full week in May, to provide the input to the model.
In 2018, the Albion Chinook test fishery began operating on April 22. The
total catch for the period of this update (May 6 to May 19) was one (1)
Chinook. Based on this input, the current predicted return to the mouth of the
Fraser for the Fraser River Spring 5-2 and Summer 5-2 Chinook aggregates ranges
from 21,000 to 54,000 Chinook (median value of 33,850).
The next scheduled update is on May 29 and the final in-season update is
planned for June 18.
Given conservation concerns for Fraser River Chinook, the Department does not
plan to adjust management actions for Fraser River Spring and Summer 5-2
Chinook fisheries in-season and additional conservation actions are planned to
achieve the Department’s conservation objective to reduce exploitation by 25%-
35% on Fraser Chinook stocks for the 2018 season. Further information on
additional management actions will be communicated by separate fishery
notices.
