Subject: FN0301-Sockeye: Area 23 - Barkley Sound and Alberni Inlet - Non Retention
Effective 00:01 hours Thursday May 15, 2008 until further notice the daily
quota for sockeye salmon in Area 23, Barkley Sound and Alberni Inlet, will be
zero (0).
The pre-season forecast for Somass Sockeye is 150,000. At this runsize there
is no available recreational catch. Meetings have been held with the South
Coast SFAB and the local Port Alberni SFAC. Discussions focused on the pre-
season forecast and recreational sockeye opportunities in Area 23.
The Somass Sockeye inseason stock assessment program will be in place in 2008.
This program collects escapement, test fishing, catch and environmental
information on a weekly basis. This information is then used to prepare a
weekly inseason run size reforecast.
While at this time a recreational sockeye fishery in Area 23 Barkley Sound and
Alberni Inlet is not anticipated, the weekly inseason run size will be closely
monitored. If the inseason run size reforecast indicates a substantially
larger return than the pre-season forecast fisheries may be possible. The
first inseason run size reforecast is scheduled for the first week of July.
