Estimating the Stock Composition of Sockeye Salmon in the Outer Port Heiden and Ilnik Sections of Alaska’s North Peninsula Fishery

This project was designed as a follow-on to Western Alaska Salmon Stock Identification Program (WASSIP) to obtain additional year's data on the stock composition of sockeye salmon captured in the Port Heiden section of the Alaska Peninsula. In addition, the project set out to characterize the stock composition in the Outer and Inner sections of the Port Heiden section to see if closure of the Outer section had a meaningful effect on the interception of Bristol Bay sockeye salmon. The work was designed and conducted by the University of Washington and funded by BBEDC.

BBSRI was involved in program review and technical support.
