Influence of Carcass-Derived Nutrients
on Sockeye Salmon Productivity of Karluk Lake, Alaska: Importance in the
Assessment of an Escapement Goal
Authors: D.C. Schmidt, S.R. Carlson, G.B. Kyle, and B.P. Finney |
| The authors evaluated historical spawner-recruit
data and recent limnology data to develop an escapement goal for maximum
sustainable yield of sockeye salmon. For Karluk Lake, findings suggest
an escapement goal of about one million fish to optimize salmon production,
with equal proportions of early and late run spawners. There is likely
a positive feedback mechanism in escapement percent, primarily due to
nutrients from spawner carcasses. North American Journal of Fisheries
Management 18:743-763.
