Subsistence and Personal Use Salmon Harvests in the Alaska Portion of the Yukon River Drainage, 2016
註釋This annual report presents estimates of subsistence and personal use salmon and nonsalmon fish harvests within the Alaska portion of the Yukon River drainage (Yukon Area). Most Yukon Area communities have no regulatory requirements to report their subsistence salmon harvest. For most communities, harvest information was collected through voluntary postseason household interviews, follow-up telephone interviews, postal questionnaires, and harvest calendars. Stratified random sampling techniques were used to select households to be surveyed. In 2016, a total of 1,274 households were surveyed in 33 communities. Data from surveyed households were expanded to estimate the total harvest including that of unsurveyed households. In road-accessible portions of the Yukon Area, fishery participants were required to document their harvest on a subsistence or personal use permit. In 2016, 535 subsistence and personal use permits were issued, of which 98% were returned. Of those returned permits, 321 reported fishing. The total subsistence and personal use harvest throughout the Yukon Area was estimated to be 21,669 Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), 88,078 summer chum (O. keta), 84,900 fall chum (O. keta), and 9,081 coho (O. kisutch) salmon. The primary fishing gear types used were drift gillnet (44%), set gillnet (41%), dip net and other gear types (10%), and fish wheel (5%). In 2016, 1,941 households owned 5,371 dogs and 293 households fed an estimated 65,575 whole salmon to dogs.
