| Facts And Circumstances Test | FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THE BRISTOL BAY SCIENCE AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE (BBSRI), 501(C)(3)EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIN THE TAX YEAR 2023, BBSRI'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE AVERAGED OVER FIVE YEARS (AND ADJUSTED FOR EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS OVER 2%) WAS 32.81%. THIS IS BELOW 33.3% BUT REMAINED 22.81% GREATER THAN THE 10% MINIMUM. THEREFORE, TO QUALIFY AS A PUBLIC CHARITY, FURTHER INFORMATION MUST BE EVALUATED. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT PERTAINS TO THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST TO EVALUATE BBSRI PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS. THE DOCUMENT IS ORGANIZED TO ADDRESS EACH STIPULATION OF 26 CFR: 1.170A-9(F)(3).- BBSRI'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC IN BRISTOL BAY, ALASKA, AND BY DOING SO, BENEFITS A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN ALASKA AND AROUND THE US. - IN 2023, BBSRI'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 32.81%.- BBSRI CONDUCTS FUND RAISING ANNUALLY TO ATTRACT NEW SUPPORT. ALMOST ALL ITS RESEARCH IS SUPPORTED BY ANNUAL COMMITMENTS MADE BY BENEFACTORS THAT REQUIRE ORGANIZED AND ONGOING FUND-RAISING EFFORTS.- SOURCES OF SUPPORT TO BBSRI ARE BROAD AND EACH YEAR INCLUDE A 1,980-MEMBER FISHERMEN ASSOCIATION, THE STATE OF ALASKA, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, 12 SALMON PROCESSING COMPANIES, FISHING COMPANIES THAT OPERATE IN THE OFFSHORE FEDERAL FISHERY, MUNICIPALITIES AND BOROUGHS, VILLAGE GOVERNMENTS, AND FISHING INDUSTRY SUPPORT COMPANIES. - BBSRI PROVIDES SEVERAL SERVICES DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING A RESEARCH PROGRAM OPERATED IN THE BERING SEA FOR 35 DAYS BEGINNING MID-JUNE EACH YEAR. AS PART OF THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHING PROGRAM, BBSRI PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE FISHING INDUSTRY, STATE FISHERY MANAGERS, AND THE PUBLIC WITH DAILY UPDATES ON THE STRENGTH OF THE DEVELOPING SALMON RUNS. THESE UPDATES ARE DISTRIBUTED BY EMAIL DAILY TO 1,228 SUBSCRIBERS, TEXTED TO 600 SUBSCRIBERS, AND POSTED ON BBSRI'S WEBSITE. - BBSRI'S GOVERNING BODY IS RESTRICTED TO RESIDENTS OF BRISTOL BAY COMMUNITIES BUT ITS DIRECTORS REPRESENT A BROAD ARRAY OF INTERESTS AND SERVE IN MANY CAPACITIES, INCLUDING LOCAL VILLAGE AND MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATIONS, NON-PROFITS, AND ADVISORY ROLES TO GOVERNMENT POLICY AND REGULATORY BODIES.- BBSRI FUNDS, CONDUCTS, AND PUBLISHES SCHOLARLY STUDIES; ON ITS OWN AND IN COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITIES, IT CONDUCTS AND DISTRIBUTES THESE RESULTS VIA CONFERENCES AND PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS.- BBSRI SCIENTISTS AND THOSE IT SUPPORTS REGULARLY PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS INVOLVING THE PUBLIC TO PRESENT THEIR RESEARCH RESULTS.

INTRODUCTIONIN THE TAX YEAR 2023, BBSRI'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE AVERAGED OVER FIVE YEARS (AND ADJUSTED FOR EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS OVER 2%) WAS 32.81%. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT PERTAINS TO THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES EVALUATION OF WHETHER BBSRI IS A PUBLIC CHARITY. AFTER A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON BBSRI, THIS DOCUMENT IS ORGANIZED TO ADDRESS STIPULATIONS OR GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY 26 CFR: 1.170A-9(F)(3), THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST.BBSRI WAS INCORPORATED IN 1998 AND IS A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF THE BRISTOL BAY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (BBEDC). BBEDC IS A NON-PROFIT 501(C)(4) CORPORATION ESTABLISHED UNDER THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS ACT. BBSRI'S MISSION:TO UNDERTAKE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT THAT WILL FOSTER ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS TO THE RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES OF BRISTOL BAY TO ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE REGION'S RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ITS FISH STOCKS AND FISHERIES.BBSRI BRINGS FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL RESOURCES, LEADERSHIP, AND FOCUS TO IMPORTANT TOPICS AND RESEARCH NEEDS THAT OFTEN "FALL BETWEEN THE CRACKS" OF AGENCIES WITH DECLINING BUDGETS AND/OR CONSTRAINED BY NARROW MANDATES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE STATE OF ALASKA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE BAY SALMON FISHERY PROVIDES A SUSTAINABLE CATCH OVER TIME, BUT NO STATE OR FEDERAL AGENCY HAS A MANDATE TO ENSURE ECONOMIC VITALITY OF THE FISHERY. STEMMING DIRECTLY FROM ITS MISSION, MUCH OF BBSRI'S WORK OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS HAS BEEN TOWARD FOSTERING THE ECONOMIC HEALTH AND VITALITY OF THE REGION AND ITS RESIDENTS. BBSRI CONDUCTS APPLIED RESEARCH AND RESOURCE MONITORING, CONTRACTS WITH UNIVERSITIES AND INDUSTRY, AND ASSISTS AGENCIES WITH SECURING FUNDING TO ASSIST THEM WITH CARRYING OUT THEIR MISSIONS TO THE EXTENT BBSRI'S MISSION IS ALSO ADDRESSED. BBSRI RECEIVES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM ITS PARENT ORGANIZATION (BBEDC), STATE OF ALASKA, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, FISHERMEN AND FISHING ORGANIZATIONS, THE FISH PROCESSING INDUSTRY, MUNICIPALITIES AND VILLAGES, AND SUPPORT INDUSTRIES TO THE FISHERY. IN CARRYING OUT ITS WORK, BBSRI COLLABORATES WITH UNIVERSITIES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, LOCAL COMMUNITIES, AND THOSE IN THE FISHING INDUSTRY.THROUGH ITS WORK OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, BBSRI HAS POSITIVELY IMPACTED THE REGION AND ITS INHABITANTS, AND THE MUCH BROADER FISHING INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE SALMON FISHERY. THE INDUSTRY IS COMPRISED OF THOUSANDS OF FISHERMEN, FISH PROCESSING COMPANIES, AND SUPPORT INDUSTRIES WHO ARE BASED THROUGHOUT THE USA. FINANCIAL SUPPORT WE RECEIVE, AND PARTICIPATION FROM COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF THE REGION, IS A TESTAMENT TO THE VALUE AND BENEFITS THAT BBSRI PROVIDES TO A BROAD PUBLIC. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |

MR. HEAD LEADS AND DIRECTS FUND RAISING AND GRANT APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING OVERSEEING SUBCONTRACTORS WHO ASSIST IN FUND RAISING EFFORTS FROM TIME TO TIME. ALMOST ALL THE SUPPORT BBSRI RECEIVES IS BASED ON AN ANNUAL FUNDING, EXCEPT FOR SOME 2- AND 3-YEAR GRANTS. ANNUAL SUPPORT REQUIRES ONGOING REPORTING, PROPOSAL WRITING, AND FUND RAISING. NUMEROUS BENEFACTORS OF BBSRI ARE APPROACHED ANNUALLY WITH PROPOSED RESEARCH PROJECTS. AS NOTED IN A SECTION BELOW, THE BRISTOL BAY FISHERIES COLLABORATIVE (BBFC) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2016, WHICH CREATED A RIGOROUS AND EFFICIENT WAY TO SOLICIT SUPPORT FROM 26 ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING LOCAL AND NATIVE GOVERNMENTS, FISHING ORGANIZATIONS, COMPANIES, AND INDIVIDUALS THAT SUPPORT THE MISSION OF BBSRI. BBFC REQUIRES ANNUAL MEETINGS AND REPORTING, AND A FORUM FOR OUTREACH TO SECURE SUPPORT IN FUTURE YEARS. IN THE PAST, BBSRI HAS DISTRIBUTED PLEDGE CARDS AMONG BRISTOL BAY'S FISH PROCESSORS TO DISTRIBUTE TO ALMOST 3,000 FISHERMEN, TO REQUEST CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE USED TOWARD APPLIED RESEARCH AND MONITORING OF LOCAL FISH STOCKS. ALASKA STATUTE 43.77.040 (A) PROVIDES A CREDIT TO TAXPAYERS WHO HARVEST FISH UNDER THE STATE'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (CDQ) PROGRAM OF UP TO 45.45% OF THE LANDING TAX THAT THEY WOULD OTHERWISE PAY ON BEHALF OF HARVESTED CDQ FISHERIES QUOTA. AS DETERMINED AND RULED ON BY THE STATE'S DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, MUCH OF BBSRI RESEARCH QUALIFIES UNDER THIS STATUTE AS "RESEARCH PROJECTS RELATING TO ALASKA FISHERIES." IN DECEMBER OF EACH YEAR, BBSRI APPROACHES FISHING COMPANIES THAT HARVEST CDQ QUOTA WITH A LIST OF UPCOMING RESEARCH INITIATIVES THAT QUALIFY UNDER AS 43.77.040 (A) AND RECEIVES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM ALL COMPANIES THAT IT HAS APPROACHED. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III) ADDITIONAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER (A) PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT COMPARED TO THE MINIMUM: THE CURRENT 32.81% IS 3X THE MINIMUM 10% REQUIREMENT. (B) SOURCES OF SUPPORT (BROAD VS NARROW): ANNUALLY, BBSRI RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM A WIDE ARRAY AND DIVERSITY OF ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS. THIS INCLUDES 15 COMPANIES IN THE SALMON AND OFFSHORE FISHING INDUSTRIES, INDIVIDUAL FISHERMEN, STATE OF ALASKA, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, A REGIONAL SEAFOOD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION (WHICH REPRESENTS 1,980 DRIFTNET FISHERMEN), VILLAGE GOVERNMENTS, SETNET FISHERMEN, AND LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES. BBSRI HAS SOUGHT AND RECEIVED MULTI-YEAR GRANTS FROM THE STATE OF ALASKA VIA THE ALASKA SUSTAINABLE SALMON FUND (WWW.AKSSF.ORG/), AND FROM THE BRISTOL BAY HERITAGE LAND TRUST, SOUTHWEST ALASKA SALMON HABITAT PARTNERSHIP, NORTH PACIFIC RESEARCH BOARD, THE US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, AND THE FEDERAL SALTONSTALL-KENNEDY GRANT PROGRAM. IN 2016, BBSRI ORGANIZED A BROAD-BASED FUND-RAISING EFFORT TO SUPPORT MANAGEMENT OF THE BRISTOL BAY SALMON FISHERIES AND THIS STILL ONGOING THROUGH 2023 (AND BEYOND). THE INITIATIVE LED TO THE FORMATION OF THE BRISTOL BAY FISHERIES COLLABORATIVE (BBFC; WWW.BBSRI.ORG/BBFC), WHICH, COMBINED WITH BBSRI'S MATCHING CONTRIBUTION, RAISED $577,054 TO FUND FISHERIES RESEARCH AND MONITORING IN 2020. A TOTAL OF 19 ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS CONTRIBUTED A TOTAL OF $288,527 TO BBSRI TO SUPPORT BBFC IN 2020 ALONE. BBSRI HAS RAISED FROM OTHERS MORE THAN $1.8 MILLION DOLLARS TO FUND BBFC IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IN 2021, BBFC WAS THE IMPETUS FOR A LARGE, TWO-YEAR ALASKA LEGISLATIVE INCREMENT TO THE STATE'S OPERATING BUDGET OF $1.6 MILLION. (C) REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY (BROAD VS NARROW INTERESTS): BBSRI'S 7-MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE FROM COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE BRISTOL BAY REGION AND REPRESENT A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF THE PUBLIC. INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS SERVE IN MANY CAPACITIES, INCLUDING LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN LOCAL VILLAGE AND MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATIONS, COUNCILS AND ADVISORY BODIES TO GOVERNMENT POLICY AND REGULATION, AND NON-PROFIT ENTITIES. CURRENT DIRECTORS, THEIR HOMETOWN AND SELECTED AFFILIATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS. H.

BBSRI'S WORK PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC AT OUR WEBSITE (WWW.BBSRI.ORG), VIA EMAIL AND TEXTING LISTS, AND VIA PUBLIC MEETINGS. ONE EXAMPLE OF AN ANNUAL SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC: BBSRI OPERATES AN ANNUAL PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY IN THE BERING SEA AND PROVIDES FREE DAILY UPDATES AND INTERPRETATIONS OF THE STRENGTH OF THE DEVELOPING SALMON RUN FOR ~35 DAYS BEGINNING JUNE 10TH. THIS INFORMATION IS USED BY FISHERY MANAGERS, FISHERMEN, PROCESSORS, SUPPORT INDUSTRIES, SHIPPING COMPANIES, AND FISH BUYERS TO ALLOCATE AND DISTRIBUTE THEIR EFFORTS AROUND BRISTOL BAY. DAILY UPDATES ARE SENT TO AN EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST THAT WAS 1,228 RECIPIENTS IN 2023. THESE DAILY UPDATES ARE ALSO TEXTED TO OVER 600 SUBSCRIBERS AND ARE POSTED ON BBSRI'S WEBSITE WHERE THERE ARE OVER 7,500 PAGE VIEWS ANNUALLY FROM INDIVIDUALS IN ALL 50 STATES AND FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE PAGE VIEWS ONLINE ARE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MEDIA, FISH BUYERS FROM EUROPE, AND BY THOSE FROM THE EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST WHO WERE SEEKING ADDITIONAL DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY. 2. EDUCATIONAL OR RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS THAT REGULARLY PUBLISHES SCHOLARLY STUDIES THAT ARE WIDELY USED BY COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AND/OR PUBLIC. YES. BBSRI FUNDS, CONDUCTS, AND PUBLISHES SCHOLARLY STUDIES; IT COLLABORATES WITH THE UNIVERSITIES TO CONDUCT AND DISTRIBUTE THESE RESULTS VIA CONFERENCES AND PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS (SEE BELOW FOR THE MOST RECENT TWO PUBLICATIONS). RESEARCH REPORTS ARE POSTED ON SEVERAL PAGES AT ITS WEBSITE. 3. ADDITIONAL FACTORS I. PARTICIPATE IN OR SPONSOR EVENTS WITH PUBLIC WITH SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE: BBSRI SCIENTISTS AND THOSE IT FINANCIALLY SUPPORTS REGULARLY PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS INVOLVING THE PUBLIC TO PRESENT THEIR RESEARCH RESULTS. BBSRI HAS SET UP ADVISORY PANELS OF THOSE FROM INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT AND ACADEMIA TO ASSIST WITH ITS RESEARCH TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND APPLICABILITY OF OUR APPLIED RESEARCH (E.G., SEE WWW.BBSRI.ORG/ESCAPEMENT-GOAL-ANALYSIS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE MOST RECENT ADVISORY PANEL). A RECENTLY COMPLETED "ESCAPEMENT GOAL ANALYSIS" LED AND FUNDED BY BBSRI WAS PRESENTED TO THE ALASKA BOARD OF FISHERIES IN MARCH 2015, WHERE IT ADOPTED THE STUDY'S RECOMMENDATIONS INTO REGULATORY POLICY (5 AAC 06.355).

| PART III LINE 4A - PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY I & III, 2023 | SUMMARY BBSRI OPERATES THE ANNUAL PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY (PMTF) IN THE BERING SEA OFFSHORE OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA, ~240 MILES SOUTHWEST OF KING SALMON, ALASKA. THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY BASE OPERATIONS ARE COVERED BY TWO PROJECT BUDGETS. PMTF I WHICH COVERS STAFFING, TRAVEL AND SUPPLIES FOR THE PROJECT, AND PMTF III WHICH WAS ADDED IN 2022 TO COVER THE COSTS OF CHARTERING A VESSEL TO REPLACE THE RECENTLY DECOMMISSIONED ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME VESSEL WHICH OPERATED THE PROJECT IN PREVIOUS YEARS. THE 2023 PROJECT WAS THE 19TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON THAT BBSRI HAS MANAGED AND OPERATED THE PMTF. THE TEST FISHERY TARGETS SOCKEYE SALMON BOUND FOR BRISTOL BAY APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK BEFORE THEY REACH THE COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICTS IN BRISTOL BAY. THE SALMON CATCHES FROM PMTF ARE USEFUL FOR FORECASTING THE CURRENT-YEAR SALMON RUN SIZE AND TIMING TO THE FIVE FISHING DISTRICTS. PMTF INFORMATION IS USED BY FISHERY MANAGERS, RESEARCHERS, SALMON PROCESSORS, AND FISHERMEN. FISH ARE ALSO SAMPLED TO DETERMINE THE AGE AND STOCK COMPOSITION OF THE RUN. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES EACH YEAR THE PMTF IS SCHEDULED TO OPERATE FROM 10 JUNE TO MID-JULY. THE GILLNET-BASED SAMPLING IS CONDUCTED IN A SERIES OF TWO-DAY TRIPS ALONG A TRANSECT RUNNING BETWEEN PORT MOLLER AND CAPE NEWENHAM. HISTORICALLY, FIVE OR SIX EQUIDISTANT STATIONS (NUMBERED 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,12) SPACED 18.52 KM (10 NM) APART (FIGURE 1) ARE FISHED EACH DAY; FISHING OCCURS IN A SOUTH TO NORTH PROGRESSION ON THE FIRST DAY AND IN REVERSE ORDER ON THE SECOND DAY. FISH ARE SAMPLED ON THE VESSEL DECK IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING EACH FISHING EVENT. BEGINNING IN 2019, THE TRANSECT WAS EXPANDED SUBSTANTIALLY TO INCLUDE STATIONS 2, 4, 6, ETC. THROUGH STATION 24 WITH EFFORT PROVIDED BY THE INTERRELATED PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY II PROJECT. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE PMTF IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT SOCKEYE THAT WILL REACH THE BRISTOL BAY COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICTS FOUR TO NINE DAYS LATER. THIS INFORMATION CONSISTS CHIEFLY OF (1) DAILY INDICES OF ABUNDANCE, (2) IN-SEASON AGE COMPOSITION ESTIMATES, AND (3) IN-SEASON STOCK COMPOSITION ESTIMATES TO THE LEVEL OF RIVER SYSTEM. SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2023 THE RESULTS SUMMARIZED HERE INCLUDE THOSE FROM THE EFFORT FROM THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY I AND II PROJECTS ALSO DONE BY BBSRI. TABLES 1 AND 2 SUMMARIZE KEY DELIVERABLES AND ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THE 2023 PMTF. THE FOLLOWING IS THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FROM THE PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT, WHICH PROVIDES GREATER DETAIL OF THE 2023 RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. TABLE 3 SUMMARIZES THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ON THE PROJECT'S DAILY UPDATE EMAIL LIST. FIGURE 1 PROVIDES A MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE PMTF AND THE TEST FISHING STATIONS. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT (2023) IN 2023, THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY (PMTF) OPERATED FROM JUNE 11 TO JULY 13 USING TWO RESEARCH VESSELS, THE R/V OCEAN CAT AND THE R/V MISS LEONA. A TOTAL OF 6,670 SOCKEYE WERE CAUGHT IN 300 SETS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS STATIONS 2-24 TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION USED FOR INSEASON FORECASTING. AN ADDITIONAL 12 SETS MADE AT AND NEAR STATION 10 DURING JUNE 19 AND JUNE 22 PRODUCED 414 SOCKEYE AND HELPED TO ASSESS SAMPLING ERROR AT A SINGLE STATION VERSUS NEARBY PATCHINESS IN THE PASSAGE RATE. THE COVERAGE OF STATIONS AND DAYS DURING THE 2023 TEST FISHERY WAS ONLY SURPASSED BY 2022, WITH ONLY ONE DAY MISSED DURING MID-SEASON DUE TO WEATHER. THE EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST ENDED THE SEASON WITH 1,228 EMAIL ADDRESSES, UP ABOUT 11% OVER 2022. THE MEDIAN TIME BETWEEN SAMPLE COLLECTION AND STOCK COMPOSITION RELEASE TO THE DISTRIBUTION LIST WAS A SINGLE DAY DURING THE 2023 SEASON (SIMILAR TO 2022); THE MAXIMUM LAG TIME WAS ONLY TWO DAYS. THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR 2023 ESTIMATES WAS ABOUT TWO DAYS FASTER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN OBSERVED SINCE 2010. OVER THE ENTIRE SEASON A TOTAL OF 12 ESTIMATES WERE RELEASED (ABOUT THREE MORE THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS). THE REDUCED TURNAROUND TIME BETWEEN GENETIC TISSUE COLLECTION AT THE PMTF AND RELEASE OF THE STOCK COMPOSITION ESTIMATES, AS WELL AS INCREASED FREQUENCY AND NUMBER OF ESTIMATES FOR 2022 AND 2023 WAS DUE ENTIRELY TO THE ONBOARD GENETICS LAB THAT ALLOWED GENOTYPING TO BE DONE AT SEA. ON JUNE 20 AND JUNE 25, WE ESTIMATED THE WEIGHTS OF THE AVERAGE SOCKEYE PASSING THE TEST FISHING TRANSECT TO BE 5.6 LBS. THESE ESTIMATES AGREED WITH THE 5.5 LBS REPORTED FOR INSHORE CATCH BY ADF&G IN THEIR SEASON SUMMARY. LIKEWISE, THE ESTIMATED AGE AND STOCK COMPOSITIONS BASED ON THE PMTF REFLECTED THAT OF THE INSHORE RUN VERY WELL. THE 2023 RUN WAS 54.5 MILLION WITH 50% OF C+E OCCURRING BY JULY 6 MAKING IT 2-DAYS LATE IF JULY 4 IS THE DATE WE USE TO REFERENCE AN "AVERAGE" RUN TIMING. RUN TIMINGS OVER THE PREVIOUS EIGHT YEARS (2015-2022) HAVE BEEN LATE (MEAN=3.8 DAYS LATE; RANGE=1-6). THE SEASONAL PATTERN IN THE 2023 RUN WAS SIMILAR TO 2017 AND 2021 IN THAT A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN C+E OCCURRED IN EARLY JULY FOLLOWING A DROP OFF IN LATE JUNE MOSTLY DUE TO THE NUSHAGAK-WOOD DISTRICT. DISSIMILAR TO ANY OTHER RUN GOING BACK TO 2011, WAS THE SUBSEQUENT MULTIMODAL PATTERN HAVING SUBSTANTIAL PEAKS ON JULY 10 AND 14. UNLIKE OTHER YEARS WHEN THE OUTER STATIONS WERE FISHED (2018-2022) A STRONG SECOND MODE OF CATCHES DID NOT OCCUR BEYOND STATION 12. ALTHOUGH, CATCHES DID INCREASE OFFSHORE SLIGHTLY COMPARED TO INSHORE AFTER JUNE 30. LIKE 2022, THE DAILY INDEX WAS NOT INDICATIVE OF THE ENTRY PATTERN FOR C+E DURING 2023. AS SUCH, WE FOREWENT PUBLISHING PROXIMATE FORECASTS OF DAILY C+E DURING 2023. SEASONAL SHIFTS IN THE TRAVEL TIME (TT) BETWEEN THE TEST FISHERY AND INSHORE LIKELY CAUSED FISH TO STACK OUTSIDE THE DISTRICTS BEFORE SURGING IN CAUSING THE MULTIMODAL PATTERN IN C+E THAT WAS NOT APPARENT IN THE PORT MOLLER SIGNAL. ALTERNATELY, CATCHABILITY UNKNOWINGLY CHANGED, WHICH ALTERED THE RETURN-PER-INDEX (RPI=THE NUMBER OF FISH INSHORE THAT EACH CATCH INDEX POINT AT PORT MOLLER REPRESENTS). IN OTHER WORDS, THE PASSAGE RATE INCREASED MORE OR LESS CONSISTENTLY AND THEN SUBSIDED AS THE SEASON PROGRESSED, BUT OUR ABILITY TO CATCH PASSING SOCKEYE LIKELY FLUCTUATED DURING THE SEASON. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROJECT SCOPE IN 2024: CONTINUE TO SAMPLE STATIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FISHING TRANSECT AS TIME AND EFFORT ALLOW USING TWO VESSELS LARGE ENOUGH TO STAY ON THE FISHING TRANSECT. USE "SMART BUOYS" FIXED TO BOTH TOP ENDS AND ONE BOTTOM END OF EACH GILLNET. THE SURFACE BUOYS WILL BE ATTACHED NEAR THE EXISTING TRAILING FLOATS AND THEREFORE CAUSE NO INCREASE IN THE NETS' PROFILES. THE BOTTOM BUOYS CAN BE COVERED WITH A BAIT BAG TO REDUCE VISIBILITY. THESE DEVICES WILL PROVIDE: - REDUNDANT SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO WITHIN 1/0TH OF A DEGREE FOR EACH SET. - TEMPERATURE AND POSSIBLY SALINITY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SURFACE AND BOTTOM OF THE NETS. SUCH DIFFERENCES MAY INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THERMOCLINE. - BETTER ESTIMATES OF SEA STATE (WAVE HEIGHT). - GPS COORDINATES THAT WILL INFORM US HOW MUCH THE NET DRIFTED IN ON ITSELF (I.E., THEIR DISTANCE APART AT THE BEGINNING VERSUS THE END OF EACH SET), THE DIRECTION AND DISTANCE EACH SET DRIFTED, AND HOW MUCH NET ORIENTATION SHIFTED. CONTINUE SAMPLING AT ODD STATIONS AS TIME AND ENERGY ALLOWS. MORE SAMPLES FROM ODD STATIONS ADJACENT TO AN EVEN STATION OVER CONSECUTIVE DAYS WOULD HELP TEST THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE RUN FORMS BRAIDS IN THE MIGRATION PATTERN ACROSS THE TRANSECT CONSISTENT ACROSS SEVERAL DAYS. SUCH A PHENOMENON COULD BIAS THE DAILY CATCH INDEX THAT IS CURRENTLY FORMED FROM A SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING DESIGN AT FIXED STATIONS ACROSS THE TRANSECT. PROJECT REPORT RABORN, S., HEAD, J., REGNART, J.

| PART III LINE 4B - PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY II, 2023 | SUMMARY THIS PROJECT WAS AN ADD-ON COMPONENT TO THE ANNUAL PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY (PMTF), WHICH BBSRI HAS MANAGED AND OPERATED FOR 19 OF THE PROJECT'S 56-YEAR HISTORY. SPECIFICALLY, THE PMTF II PROJECT INVOLVED CHARTERING, OUTFITTING, AND STAFFING A LARGER AND SECOND FISHING VESSEL TO SAMPLE AT HERETOFORE LOCATIONS IN THE BERING SEA THAT WERE THOUGHT TO CONTAIN A PREVIOUSLY NOT-SAMPLED PORTION OF THE ANNUAL SALMON RETURN. THE LABEL PMTF II IS USED TO DISTINGUISH THE PROJECT'S EFFORT, EXPENDITURES, AND FUNDING SOURCES FROM THE TRADITIONAL ANNUAL PMTF PROJECT. THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR PMTF PREPARED BY BBSRI CONTAINS RESULTS FROM BOTH PMTF I, PMTF II, AND PMTF III PROJECTS. AS A RESULT, THIS PROJECT SUMMARY IS SOMEWHAT REDUNDANT WITH THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION PREPARED FOR THE "PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY," BUT IN DOING SO, THIS SUMMARY PROVIDES SOME ADDITIONAL DETAIL AND IS A STANDALONE DOCUMENT TO SUPPORT THE EXPENDITURES ASSOCIATED WITH PMTF II. RESULTS FROM PMTF II SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED THE UTILITY OF THE ENTIRE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY TO FISHERY MANAGERS AND INDUSTRY. BBSRI HAS OPERATES THE ANNUAL PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY (PMTF) IN THE BERING SEA OFFSHORE OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA, 240 MILES SOUTHWEST OF KING SALMON, ALASKA. THE 2023 PROJECT WAS THE 19TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON THAT BBSRI HAS MANAGED AND OPERATED THE PMTF. THE TEST FISHERY TARGETS SOCKEYE SALMON BOUND FOR BRISTOL BAY APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK BEFORE THEY REACH THE COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICTS IN BRISTOL BAY. THE SALMON CATCHES FROM PMTF ARE USEFUL FOR FORECASTING THE CURRENT-YEAR SALMON RUN SIZE AND TIMING TO THE FIVE FISHING DISTRICTS. PMTF INFORMATION IS USED BY FISHERY MANAGERS, RESEARCHERS, SALMON PROCESSORS, AND FISHERMEN. FISH ARE ALSO SAMPLED TO DETERMINE THE AGE AND STOCK COMPOSITION OF THE RUN. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES EACH YEAR THE PMTF IS SCHEDULED TO OPERATE FROM 10 JUNE TO MID-JULY. THE GILLNET-BASED SAMPLING IS CONDUCTED IN A SERIES OF TWO-DAY TRIPS ALONG A TRANSECT RUNNING BETWEEN PORT MOLLER AND CAPE NEWENHAM. HISTORICALLY, FIVE OR SIX EQUIDISTANT STATIONS (NUMBERED 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,12) SPACED 18.52 KM (10 NM) APART (FIGURE 1) ARE FISHED EACH DAY; FISHING OCCURS IN A SOUTH TO NORTH PROGRESSION ON THE FIRST DAY AND IN REVERSE ORDER ON THE SECOND DAY. FISH ARE SAMPLED ON THE VESSEL DECK IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING EACH FISHING EVENT. IN 2019, THE TRANSECT WAS EXPANDED SUBSTANTIALLY TO INCLUDE STATIONS 2, 4, 6THROUGH STATION 24. PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY II WAS THE PROJECT COMPONENT THAT WAS ADDED IN 2019 TO DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE TEST FISHING TRANSECT COMPARED WITH WHAT HAD BEEN DONE HISTORICALLY SINCE 1967. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE PMTF IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT SOCKEYE THAT WILL REACH THE BRISTOL BAY COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICTS FOUR TO NINE DAYS LATER. THIS INFORMATION CONSISTS CHIEFLY OF (1) DAILY INDICES OF ABUNDANCE, (2) IN-SEASON AGE COMPOSITION ESTIMATES, AND (3) IN-SEASON STOCK COMPOSITION ESTIMATES TO THE LEVEL OF RIVER SYSTEM. SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2023 TABLES 1 AND 2 SUMMARIZE KEY DELIVERABLES AND ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THE 2023 PMTF. THE FOLLOWING IS THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FROM THE PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT, WHICH PROVIDES GREATER DETAIL OF THE 2023 RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. TABLE 3 SUMMARIZES THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ON THE PROJECT'S DAILY UPDATE EMAIL LIST. FIGURE 1 PROVIDES A MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE PMTF AND THE TEST FISHING STATIONS. TABLE 4 IS FROM THE DAILY CATCH UPDATE SHOWING RESULTS BY STATION AND SHOWS THE DAILY SAMPLING EFFORT PERFORMED BY THE PMTF II PROJECT (BLUE SHADING) ALONGSIDE THE EFFORT PERFORMED BY THE TRADITIONAL TEST FISHERY VESSEL (ORANGE SHADING). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT ANNUAL REPORT (2023) IN 2023, THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY (PMTF) OPERATED FROM JUNE 11 TO JULY 13 USING TWO RESEARCH VESSELS, THE R/V OCEAN CAT AND THE R/V MISS LEONA. A TOTAL OF 6,670 SOCKEYE WERE CAUGHT IN 300 SETS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS STATIONS 2-24 TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION USED FOR INSEASON FORECASTING. AN ADDITIONAL 12 SETS MADE AT AND NEAR STATION 10 DURING JUNE 19 AND JUNE 22 PRODUCED 414 SOCKEYE AND HELPED TO ASSESS SAMPLING ERROR AT A SINGLE STATION VERSUS NEARBY PATCHINESS IN THE PASSAGE RATE. THE COVERAGE OF STATIONS AND DAYS DURING THE 2023 TEST FISHERY WAS ONLY SURPASSED BY 2022, WITH ONLY ONE DAY MISSED DURING MID-SEASON DUE TO WEATHER. THE EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST ENDED THE SEASON WITH 1,228 EMAIL ADDRESSES, UP ABOUT 11% OVER 2022. THE MEDIAN TIME BETWEEN SAMPLE COLLECTION AND STOCK COMPOSITION RELEASE TO THE DISTRIBUTION LIST WAS A SINGLE DAY DURING THE 2023 SEASON (SIMILAR TO 2022); THE MAXIMUM LAG TIME WAS ONLY TWO DAYS. THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR 2023 ESTIMATES WAS ABOUT TWO DAYS FASTER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN OBSERVED SINCE 2010. OVER THE ENTIRE SEASON A TOTAL OF 12 ESTIMATES WERE RELEASED (ABOUT THREE MORE THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS). THE REDUCED TURNAROUND TIME BETWEEN GENETIC TISSUE COLLECTION AT THE PMTF AND RELEASE OF THE STOCK COMPOSITION ESTIMATES, AS WELL AS INCREASED FREQUENCY AND NUMBER OF ESTIMATES FOR 2022 AND 2023 WAS DUE ENTIRELY TO THE ONBOARD GENETICS LAB THAT ALLOWED GENOTYPING TO BE DONE AT SEA. ON JUNE 20 AND JUNE 25, WE ESTIMATED THE WEIGHTS OF THE AVERAGE SOCKEYE PASSING THE TEST FISHING TRANSECT TO BE 5.6 LBS. THESE ESTIMATES AGREED WITH THE 5.5 LBS REPORTED FOR INSHORE CATCH BY ADF&G IN THEIR SEASON SUMMARY. LIKEWISE, THE ESTIMATED AGE AND STOCK COMPOSITIONS BASED ON THE PMTF REFLECTED THAT OF THE INSHORE RUN VERY WELL. THE 2023 RUN WAS 54.5 MILLION WITH 50% OF C+E OCCURRING BY JULY 6 MAKING IT 2-DAYS LATE IF JULY 4 IS THE DATE WE USE TO REFERENCE AN "AVERAGE" RUN TIMING. RUN TIMINGS OVER THE PREVIOUS EIGHT YEARS (2015-2022) HAVE BEEN LATE (MEAN=3.8 DAYS LATE; RANGE=1-6). THE SEASONAL PATTERN IN THE 2023 RUN WAS SIMILAR TO 2017 AND 2021 IN THAT A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN C+E OCCURRED IN EARLY JULY FOLLOWING A DROP OFF IN LATE JUNE MOSTLY DUE TO THE NUSHAGAK-WOOD DISTRICT. DISSIMILAR TO ANY OTHER RUN GOING BACK TO 2011, WAS THE SUBSEQUENT MULTIMODAL PATTERN HAVING SUBSTANTIAL PEAKS ON JULY 10 AND 14. UNLIKE OTHER YEARS WHEN THE OUTER STATIONS WERE FISHED (2018-2022) A STRONG SECOND MODE OF CATCHES DID NOT OCCUR BEYOND STATION 12. ALTHOUGH, CATCHES DID INCREASE OFFSHORE SLIGHTLY COMPARED TO INSHORE AFTER JUNE 30. LIKE 2022, THE DAILY INDEX WAS NOT INDICATIVE OF THE ENTRY PATTERN FOR C+E DURING 2023. AS SUCH, WE FOREWENT PUBLISHING PROXIMATE FORECASTS OF DAILY C+E DURING 2023. SEASONAL SHIFTS IN THE TRAVEL TIME (TT) BETWEEN THE TEST FISHERY AND INSHORE LIKELY CAUSED FISH TO STACK OUTSIDE THE DISTRICTS BEFORE SURGING IN CAUSING THE MULTIMODAL PATTERN IN C+E THAT WAS NOT APPARENT IN THE PORT MOLLER SIGNAL. ALTERNATELY, CATCHABILITY UNKNOWINGLY CHANGED, WHICH ALTERED THE RETURN-PER-INDEX (RPI=THE NUMBER OF FISH INSHORE THAT EACH CATCH INDEX POINT AT PORT MOLLER REPRESENTS). IN OTHER WORDS, THE PASSAGE RATE INCREASED MORE OR LESS CONSISTENTLY AND THEN SUBSIDED AS THE SEASON PROGRESSED, BUT OUR ABILITY TO CATCH PASSING SOCKEYE LIKELY FLUCTUATED DURING THE SEASON. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROJECT SCOPE IN 2024: CONTINUE TO SAMPLE STATIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FISHING TRANSECT AS TIME AND EFFORT ALLOW USING TWO VESSELS LARGE ENOUGH TO STAY ON THE FISHING TRANSECT. USE "SMART BUOYS" FIXED TO BOTH TOP ENDS AND ONE BOTTOM END OF EACH GILLNET. THE SURFACE BUOYS WILL BE ATTACHED NEAR THE EXISTING TRAILING FLOATS AND THEREFORE CAUSE NO INCREASE IN THE NETS' PROFILES. THE BOTTOM BUOYS CAN BE COVERED WITH A BAIT BAG TO REDUCE VISIBILITY. THESE DEVICES WILL PROVIDE: -REDUNDANT SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO WITHIN 1/0TH OF A DEGREE FOR EACH SET. -TEMPERATURE AND POSSIBLY SALINITY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SURFACE AND BOTTOM OF THE NETS. SUCH DIFFERENCES MAY INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THERMOCLINE. -BETTER ESTIMATES OF SEA STATE (WAVE HEIGHT). -GPS COORDINATES THAT WILL INFORM US HOW MUCH THE NET DRIFTED IN ON ITSELF (I.E., THEIR DISTANCE APART AT THE BEGINNING VERSUS THE END OF EACH SET), THE DIRECTION AND DISTANCE EACH SET DRIFTED, AND HOW MUCH NET ORIENTATION SHIFTED. CONTINUE SAMPLING AT ODD STATIONS AS TIME AND ENERGY ALLOWS. MORE SAMPLES FROM ODD STATIONS ADJACENT TO AN EVEN STATION OVER CONSECUTIVE DAYS WOULD HELP TEST THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE RUN FORMS BRAIDS IN THE MIGRATION PATTERN ACROSS THE TRANSECT CONSISTENT ACROSS SEVERAL DAYS. SUCH A PHENOMENON COULD BIAS THE DAILY CATCH INDEX THAT IS CURRENTLY FORMED FROM A SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING DESIGN AT FIXED STATIONS ACROSS THE TRANSECT. PROJECT REPORT RABORN, S., HEAD, J., REGNART, J.

| PART III LINE 4C - NUSHAGAK DISTRICT TEST FISHERY, 2023 | SUMMARY A GILLNET TEST FISHERY WAS OPERATED IN THE NUSHAGAK COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICT FROM JUNE 12 THROUGH JUNE 25 TO ASSESS THE ABUNDANCE, RUN TIMING, AND SIZE COMPOSITION OF RETURNING SOCKEYE SALMON. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE WAS TO PROVIDE REAL TIME (DAILY) INFORMATION TO THE ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME AREA MANAGEMENT BIOLOGIST REGARDING THE BUILDUP OF FISH IN THE DISTRICT EARLY IN THE SEASON BEFORE THEY ENTER THEIR NATAL RIVER SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION, LENGTH DATA FROM FISH CAPTURED IN THE TEST NET WAS USED TO CHARACTERIZE THE SIZE SELECTIVITY OF GILLNETS ACROSS A RANGE OF MESH SIZES. HOW VULNERABLE FISH OF DIFFERENT SIZES ARE TO CAPTURE IN A GILLNET (I.E., CONTACT SELECTIVITY) VARIES UNDER DIFFERENT FISHING METHODS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THIS PROJECT EXAMINED SELECTIVITY UNDER DIFFERENT FISHING PROTOCOLS. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES TEST FISHING HAS BEEN USED IN THE NUSHAGAK DISTRICT IN PREVIOUS YEARS TO ASSESS SOCKEYE ABUNDANCE TO GUIDE WHEN TO OPEN THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY. OFTENTIMES IN THE PAST, TEST FISHING OCCURRED UPSTREAM OF THE UPPER BOUNDARY OF THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO FORETELL ESCAPEMENT COUNTS AT ENUMERATION SITES IN THE WOOD AND NUSHAGAK RIVERS. THE 2023 TEST FISHERY WAS FOCUSED ON ASSESSING THE EARLY, FISHABLE ABUNDANCE IN THE DISTRICT TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF VERY A LARGE PASSAGE OF FISH INTO THE ESCAPEMENT EARLY IN THE SEASON. A SECOND OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO ESTIMATE CONTACT SELECTIVITY CURVES FOR GILLNETS IN THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY. SELECTIVITY CURVES CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY MESH SIZES THAT WILL OPTIMIZE FLEET'S EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS AT EXPLOITING HARVESTABLE SURPLUSES FROM THE DISTRICT'S RIVER-SPECIFIC STOCKS. OBJECTIVES ASSESS THE DAILY ABUNDANCE OF SOCKEYE SALMON IN THE NUSHAGAK COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICT USING STANDARDIZED TEST FISHING METHODS AND PROVIDE THE INFORMATION IN REAL TIME TO THE FISHERY MANAGER BASED IN DILLINGHAM, ALASKA. 1) DEVELOP MESH-SIZE-SPECIFIC SELECTIVITY CURVES FOR TWO FISHING PROTOCOLS ACROSS A RANGE OF MESH SIZES AVAILABLE TO THE COMMERCIAL FLEET BY MEASURING ALL FISH CAUGHT IN THE 4 AND 5" PANELS OF THE TEST NET. SEPARATE SETS OF SELECTIVITY CURVES WERE ESTIMATED FROM TWO FISHING PROTOCOLS: A. STANDARDIZED (PMTF) PROTOCOL: SETS MADE DURING FISHERY CLOSURES WHEREBY THE TEST NET WAS FISHED THE SAME AS THE PORT MOLLER TEST FISHERY PROTOCOL (THE NET IS STRETCHED TO LENGTH DURING THE SET AND NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SCARE FISH TOWARDS IT); B. COMMERCIAL FISHING PROTOCOL: SETS MADE DURING COMMERCIAL FISHERY OPENERS WITH THE NET FISHED AS IT WOULD BE IF IT WERE BEING USED IN THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY (I.E., THE NET WILL BE HOOKED, AND THE BOAT WILL "RUN" THE LENGTH OF THE SET FOR INSPECTION). SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2023 - THE TEST FISHING PROGRAM PROVIDED INDICES OF SOCKEYE SALMON ABUNDANCE FROM AROUND THE LARGE NUSHAGAK COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICT. - TEST FISHERY RESULTS WERE RELAYED IN REAL TIME TO THE NUSHAGAK FISHERY MANAGER BEGINNING ON JUNE 22, 2023. - INFORMATION FROM THE TEST FISHERY WAS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER INDICATORS WHICH SUGGESTED A LARGE EARLY BUILDUP OF SOCKEYE SALMON. - MANAGERS WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE FIRST LARGE VOLUME OF CHINOOK AND SOCKEYE PASSED THROUGH THE COMMERCIAL FISHING DISTRICT AND LET THEM THROUGH FOR CHINOOK CONSERVATION THEN START FISHING ON THE NEXT PULSE RATHER THAN WAITING FOR THESE FISH TO HIT ESCAPEMENT PROJECT IN RIVER. |
