The Chinook Reference Fishery is a Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative (PSSI)-funded, multi-year monitoring program initiated in 2023 to assess Chinook Salmon catch in South Coast BC Chinook mark-selective fisheries (MSFs). The objective of the program is to estimate the proportion of Chinook caught and released at sea (by size class), the mark rate (i.e., the proportion of hatchery-marked Chinook encountered), and the stock composition of sampled fish. Reference Fishery data will be used to evaluate the fishery-dependent estimates produced from the South Coast Area recreational catch monitoring (creel) program. This dataset contains detailed information for each Chinook Salmon sampled during the reference fishery. Each record includes: the catch date, which is the date the fish was sampled, and the creel sub-area, identifying the geographic location where the fish was caught. The adipose fin clipped field indicates whether the fish had a clipped adipose fin (“Y” for clipped, “N” for intact). The length (cm) column provides the fork length of the fish, measured from the tip of the nose to the fork in the tail. Genetic stock identification reported at both fine and broad spatial…
