Abstract
  • The surveys of spawning fish in coastal rivers in 1971 indicate that stocks of chum salmon remain at a low, although apparently stabilized level. Fluctuations are probably the result of year-class survival and age at maturity, rather than continued decline of the species. The fall chinook index of abundance was only 78% of the long-term average. The counts were low in all but one of the standard survey water­sheds and in both auxiliary survey river systems so it can be presumed that the surveys accurately reflected a decreased escapement. The coho index of abundance equaled its long-term average indicating a generally adequate spawning density. The Tenmile Lakes run looks particu­larly promising because a near record number of eggs were deposited by the escapement this year. However, the low number of jacks returning this year suggests the number 0£ adults returning next year will be considerably reduced.
