Area F Troll is over by approx 25% on allowable WCVI Chinook. I have heard the fishery and numbers were fast and furious.
I would be curious what is happening in SEAK on WCVI intercepts?
Subject: FN0495-COMMERCIAL - Salmon: Troll - Area F - Areas 1, 2, 101 and 142 - Demonstration ITQ Chinook fishery update and WCVI Chinook DNA results.
Area F troll fisheries in the North Coast are monitored inseason using DNA
analysis to monitor impacts on WCVI Chinook. The allowance for mortalities of
WCVI Chinook in the area F fishery is 3,477 Chinook. Genetic DNA sampling
obtained from 661 Chinook salmon and 21 vessel landings from June 9 to 15 in
Areas 1 and 101 has been analyzed and the composition of WCVI Chinook is 7%.
Based on an estimated troll catch of 66,000 Chinook harvested from June 9th to
20th and the genetic sampling results, the preliminary catch estimate for WCVI
Chinook is 4,620 Chinook. This estimate will be updated based on additional
samples from catch landings.

water mark).
Subarea 1-5 except that portion inside or shoreward of a line commencing at
Wiah Point the following the southern boundary East for 1 nautical mile, then
running parallel to the mean high water mark of Graham Island at a distance of
1 nautical mile to a point true North of Skonun Point, then running true South
to Skonun Point.
Those portions of Subareas 101-3, 101-6 and 101-7 outside and seaward 1

the mean high water mark.
That portion of Subarea 2-88 north of 53 degrees 37 minutes North latitude.
Subareas 2-92, 2-97 and 2-98.
That portion of Subarea 142-2 north of 53 degrees 37 minutes North
latitude.
The Frederick Island Rockfish Conservation Area remains closed to hook and line
fisheries (see below for description).
Those portions of Subareas 1-1, 101-1 and 142-2 that lies outside a line that:
begins at 53 deg 56.246 min N and 133 deg 17.500 min W then true East to 53 deg
56. 246 min N and 133 deg 11.862 min W (Hope Point) then to 53 deg 57.144 min N
and 133 deg 07.938 min W (Graham Island) then southerly following the shoreline
of Graham Island to the intersection with 53 deg 47.0 min north latitude, then
to 53 deg 47.000 min N and 133 deg 10.00 min W thence to the beginning point.
Vessels participating in the ITQ fishery must ‘hail-in and out’ to JO Thomas &
Associates at the toll free number 1-888-624-2646 between 6am to 6pm. Please
note that these extended hours do not start until June 15th, so until then the
hours will be 8am to 4pm.
Retention of pink salmon continues to be permitted in those previously opened
areas. Retention of sockeye, coho, chum and steelhead is not permitted.
