ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The collection and compilation of data for this report was made possible through. the work of several otherindividuals. Vicky Lef6ngwcll provided admiDistrat:Ne support throughout. Field workers spent many hourstraveling to and working in villages throughout the drainage contacting members of over 1,300 householdsduring a two-month period. They included Jim AndersoD;-W'Jl1iam Busher, Matt Keith, Suzi Lozo, and NeilShishido. Their efforts in collecting harvest calendars and interviewing fishing households are gratefullyacknowledged. In addition, Dawn Bundick, and Heather Stillwell were instrumental in entering all data ontocomputer files in an expeditious manner. Cheryl Scott assisted with the timely production of graphs andtables. The voluntary contributions of Daniel Mardeusz deserve special recognition. His work trackingharvest calendar and reminder letter returns greatly aided the progress of the harvest data compilation.FmaIly, we would like to thank Richard Randall for providing us with the opportunity to develop and test anew methodology for recording and estimating the harvest of salmon for subsistence in Yukon River drainagecommunities.

ABSTRACf

Salmon fishing for subsistence in the Yukon River drainage in Alaska has a long history. The harvest hasbeen documented CODSistcntly since 1961, however, survey methods and harvest reporting have varied.Successful management of the fishery and allocation among the various uses hinge on precise estimates ofsubsistence harvests. A new methodology developed for improving the estimate was used to estimate the1988 harvest.

In 1988, a comprehensive survey was implemented to create a complete list of all households in Yukon Riverdrainage communities in Alaska. Households were stratified in order to produce an estimate of salmonharvest with less variance than by using previous methods. Stratification was based on a household's regularparticipation in the subsistence salmon fishery. A total of 2,700 households were identified, 1,462 of whichwere identified as usually fishing for salmon for subsistence. Most (72.5%) of these households wereinterviewed personally in their home community. Harvests of salmon by other fishing households werereported on returned harvest calendars, survey instruments or returned reminder letters, as were harvests forhouseholds which usually do not fish for salmon. The estimated Alaska Yukon River drainage subsistenceharvest with approximate 95% confidence intervals were 44,564 +1- 3,546 chinook salmon (Oncorhynchustshawytscha); 226,754 +1- 19,835 summer chum salmon (0. 1cda); 153,809 +I· 17,665 fall chum salmon; and67,852 +1- 10,034 coho salmon (0. kisutch). The revised methodology showed a 30 percent improvementoverall in harvest estimation. That is, the previous methodology would have accounted for only 70 percent ofthe estimated 1988 harvest, although difference varied by species and fishing district. Updating of householdand fishing household lists, and intCDSive effort to contad: most fishing households were also consideredimportant factors in an improved estimate.

INTRODUCTION

The Yukon River drainage is the largest in Alaska (Ftg. 1) and has provided in recent years the largest

production of salmon for subsistence use of any area in the state, nearly four million pounds in 1988. The

earliest historic accounts of exploratioDs in the area attested to the harvest of salmon and its importance for

subsistence use (Zagoskin [1847] 1967; Schwatka 1893; Allen 1887) to people inhabiting the drainage. The

importance of salmon for subsistence was underscored after the onset of commercial fishing operations at the

mouth of the Yukon River in 1918. This caused grave concern among area residents over the continued

availability of salmon for subsistence, and prompted a special investigation by the federal government

(Gilbert and O'Malley 1921). From that time until about 1959 when Alaska became a state, commercial

fishing was intermittent (Wolfe 1984). Since 1959, both domestic and foreign salmon fisheries increased in

production and conccm for the Yukon River subsistence fishery persisted.

The Alaska fish and game law (Title 16) requires that fishery resources be •conserved in a manner

consistent with the sustained-yield principle" (AS. 16) State law also requires that the highest priority be

given to subsistence uses as long as sustained yield of the resource is provided (ch. 52, SLA 1986). In addition

to mandating the conservation of fisheries, the state is also charged with their commercial development.

These legal measures provide the framework for the allocation of fishery resources, such as Yukon River

salmon, among subsistence and commercial uses. An additional consideration in the allocation of Yukon

River salmon arc treaty negotiations with the Canadian government that have been conducted since 1985.

Management of the Yukon River salmon fisheries requires a determination of the allowable harvest

consistent with maintaining sustained-yield of the salmon stocks. After determining the necessary

escapement levels, surplus salmon may be allocated among different uses. The number of salmon necessary

for subsistence are considered first among these uses. As subsistence use of Yukon River drainage salmon

stocks is significant, conserving, managing, and allocating salmon in the Yukon River drainage rests on having

reliable data on subsistence salmon harvests.

Since 1958, the state of Alaska has collected data on subsistence salmon harvests of Yukon River salmon.

Although information is available for 1958-1960, the methodologies used in these years have not been

1

Page 13: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

documented. From 1961 to 1987, methods used for data collection have varied. In 1988, a new method was

developed and subsequently used to achieve the objective of improving harvest reporting and the estimation

of the total harvest.

This report desaibes the methodologies used for dOQJDlenting subsistence salmon harvests and estimating

the total harvest within the Alaska portion of the drainage. It concludes with an evaluation of the

methodologies based on the results of the 1988 study. in addition, harvest levels of salmon used for

subsistence for each year since 1m arc reported in order to provide a context within which to eDIDine the

1988 estimated harvest.

Description ofthtl Study Area

The Yukon River drainage in Alaska is the largest in the state and drains approximately 35 percent of

Alaska's land mass. Although the river originates in the province of British Columbia in Canada, it flows

approximately 1,200 miles from the United States/Canada border, 7 miles upriver from the village of Eagle,

downstream to the its mouth where it empties into the Bering Sea (Fig. 1). Major tributaries of the Yukon

River in Alaska include the Porcupine, Tanana, Koyukuk. and Innako rivers. Some 40 communities which

fish for Yukon River stocks of Pacific salmon are located within the area (FIg. 2). The population of these

communities was approximately 11,000 people of primarily Yup'ik Eskimo and Athabaskan Indian descent in

1985 (Alaska Department of Labor 1987). These include two communities along the eastern Bering Sea

coast which harvest salmon bound for the Yukon River drainage.

Descripdon ofthe Subsistence. Salmon Fishery

All five species of Pacific salmon occur within the Yukon River drainage in Alaska. However, their

distribution and abundance varies throughout. These species are chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus

tshawytscha), chum salmon (0. /ceta), coho salmon (0. kisutch), pink salmon (0. gorbuscha), and sockeye (0.

nerlca). All five species have been harvested for subsistence use by community residents in the drainage,

although sockeye salmon occur in insignificant numbers and are only rarely caught1.

Salmon fishing oa:urs from late May through October, although this varies throughout the drainage.

FlShing activities are based either from a fish camp or the home village, however, the degree to which one or

the other is more prevalent has varied from commUDity to commUDity. Some people from communities not

situated along the Yukon River operated fish camps along it, and these have included Birch Creek, Venetie,

and some residents of Chalkyitsik. Subsistence salmon fishing was often undertaken by extended family

groups representing two or several households in a commUDity. These groups, as well as members of

individual households, cooperated to harvest, cut, dry, smoke, and store salmon for subsistence use. Many

people who fished for subsistence also operated as commercial fishermen in districts where commercial

fishing has been allowed and families had a member with a Commercial FISheries Entry Commission (CFEC)

permit.

Drift gill nets, set gill nets, beach seines, and fish whccJs have been used for taking salmon in recent years,

although weirs, fish traps, and dip nets were used historically. Allowable fishing gear has not included the use

of weirs and fish traps for over 20 years. In more recent years the usc of drift nets for subsistence fishing has

been limited by regulation to areas in the lower portions of the Yukon River drainage, although the use of set

nets has also occurred. In the middle and upper portions of the Yukon River drainage, subsistence salmon

fishing has occ:urrcd with the use of fish wheels and set nets, depending upon the area where fishing occurred

and the species targeted.

In Alaska, the Yukon River drainage was divided into six commercial fISheries management districtS (Fig.

2). Since 1974, there have been five districts along the main stem of the Yukon River three in the lower

river region (Yl, Y2, Y3), one in the middle river region (Y4), and one in the upper region (Y5) _. and a sixth

lIn the state of Alaska, subsistence fishing is defined as "the taking of, fishing for, or possession of fishmby aresident domiciled in a rural area of the state for subsistence uses...;" subsistence uses "means thenoncommercial, customary and traditional uses in Alaska of wild, renewable resources by a residentdomiciled in a rural area of the state for direct personal or family consumption as food, shelter, fuel, clothing.tools, or transportation.••;" and rural area "means a community or area of the state in which thenoncommercial, customary, and traditional use of fish or game for personal or family consumption is aprincipal characteristic of the economy of the community or area" (Sec. 16.05.940). The greater Fairbanksarea of the Yukon River drainage has been designated as nonrural, and, therefore, the harvest of salmon byresidents in that area were not included in this study.

district (Y6) in the lower and middle Tanana River area. Subsistence salmon harvests from the Koyukuk

River drainage have been included with District 4, and harvests from the Chandalar and Porcupine River

drainages with District 5 (Fig. 2).

In general, since the early 196Os, subsistence fishing has been managed and regulated to coincide with

the commercial salmon fishing periods. The time allowed for subsistence fishing has, therefore,

corresponded to fishing time restrictions in the commercial salmon fishery. Between 1961 and 1980,

commercial fishing time throughout the drainage has been progressively reduced. By the mid 1970s,

subsistence salmon fishing time had been reduced to two days per week in the lower Yukon River districts

during the chinook and early chum salmon runs, and to five days per week in the middle and upper Yukon

River districts for all species. Since then, subsistence and commercial fishing time has been further reduced

to four days per week in the middle and upper river districts, and beginning in 1988 to 84 hours per week in

the Tanana River district. In some areas, additional time has been added to provide for subsistence salmon

fishing (a 24-hour period every other weekend in the lower Yukon districts and five days per week in a

portion of the Tanana River district). Along the Koyukuk, Chandalar, and Porcupine rivers, including Black

River, and in Hooper and Scammon bays, subsistence salmon fishing time has not been restricted.

Objectives

The primary objective of the 1988 subsistence salmon harvest survey was to develop and implement a

revised harvest reporting and estimation procedure for determining harvest levels by species for each

community in Alaska harvesting Yukon River stocks for subsistence. Secondarily, the 1988 study had

additional objective to: (1) update community household lists and identify salmon fishing households in each

community; (2) evaluate the precision and accuracy of the estimated harvest using the new methodology and

compared to the previously used methodology; (3) compile information on fIShing effort (number of

households participating), gear types, and timing of the subsistence harvest; (4) identify subsistence salmon

harvest issues; and (5) summarize and interpret subsistence salmon harvest data since 1m.

METHODS

lilStOricai Survey and Estimation Methods

Since 1958, the state of Alaska has collected data on subsistence harvcsts of Yukon River salmon.

Although information is available for 1958-60, the methodologies used in those years have not been

documented. From 1961 to 1987 methods used for data collection have varied. Thcse methods have included

traveling to each fish camp to count salmon as they were being preserved in smokehouses; sending calendars

to known fishing familics to record their harvest on a daily basis; traveling to villagcs and interviewing.fishing

families after the fishing season to record their harvest; contacting people by mail or telephone after the

season to record their harvest; issuing subsistence salmon harvest permits for certain areas; and using a

combination of these meth~ (Alaska Department of FISh and Game 1962; Alaska Department of FISh and

Game 1987; Brannian et ai. 1987). An extrapolation method has been used to estimate total harvest of all

known fishing families.

Recording Subsistence Salmon Harvests, 1988

In 1988, a new method was developed and subsequendy used"to achieve the objective of improving harvest

reporting and the estimation of the total subsistence salmon harvest. The fIrst step toward improving the

accuracy of harvest estimatcs was to improve existing information on the number of households engaged in

salmon fishing. That is, the total harvcst estimate could be improved by having a more accurate count of the

number of households participating in the IlShery. The 1988 study had the objective of censusing subsistence

salmon harvests of all Yukon River drainage households, excluding the non-rural areas including Fairbanks.

Household members lived in 40 communities situated along 1,200 miles of the Yukon River in addition to its

tributarics (Fig. 2). The total population was about 11,300 people in 1985 (Alaska Department of Labor

1987). Total number of households was previously undocumented. In 1987, there were an estimated 1,097

"fIShing familics' living within this area. A fIShing family represented at least one household unit, but more in

Page 17: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

some cases. Residents of these communities were predominantly Alaskan Native representing Yup'ik

Eskimo near the mouth of the river and several Athabaskan Indian groups elsewhere in the drainage.

Community populations ranged from 20 to 98 percent Native with only four communities having a population

which was less than 50 percent Alaska Native. Existing studies had shown that in some Yukon River drainage

communities, up to 78 petcent of the households participated in salmon fishing in the upper reaches of the

drainage (Andrews 1988a; Sumida 1988) and'even a larger proportion near the mouth of the Yukon River

(Wolfe 1981). Thus, the number of"fishiDg households" in the Yukon River drainage may far exceed the

number of "fishing families."

The goal of recording harvests of all households whether or not they were included on previous lists of

fishing families was a departure from the methodology used in previous surveys (since 1961). Prior to 1988,

subsistence salmon harvest studies had attempted to sample community households by recording harvests

only of families identified as fishing families. This measure attempted to include the harvests of all

households within the fishing family group. Other studies in the.l98Os had shown that there were families in

some communities that fished for salmon for subsistence, but were not included on Department "fishing

family" lists. These studies revealed the discrepancy between estimates based on censusing all households

and those based on a sample of fishing families (Andrews 1988a; Sumida 1988). In addition, the dynamics of

participation in salmon fishing indicated that often there were households in a community that did not fish for

one or several seasons, but subsequently began to fish; whereas other households no longer fished. This was

often a result of changes in household composition, such as the household becoming smaller when younger

members marry and form new households.

In spring 1988, an inventory was made of all households in Yukon River drainage communities in Alaska

that fIshed for salmon for subsistence. In addition, each household was identifIed as one that "usually fIshed"

or "did not usually flsh." Although the 1987 "fishing family" lists and village household lists previously

compiled by the Division of Subsistence were used, the inventory and classifIcation were made primarily

during fIeld visits to almost all communities (34 of 40 communities were visited). Within these communities

researchers worked with key respondents to list all community households and classifIed them according to

participation in subsistence salmon flShing. For communities where household and flShing household lists

6

Page 18: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

were available from previous subsistence studies in the 198Os, these were updated. In six cases (Alatna,

Allakaket, Beaver, Circle, Hughes, and Huslia), key respondents from villages were interviewed while in

Fairbanks on other business. Information for four communities (Hooper Bay, Scammon Bay, Central and

Birch Creek) and one area peripheral to the fishing areas of the drainage (Kantishna River) was not collected

during the preseason inventory due to time and budget constraints.

Several changes were also made in the methods for recording subsistence salmon harvests. F'11"St, it was

determined the study should seek data on salmon harvests from each household rather than a sample of

fishing families. The household unit was selected for the purpose of systematically updating the list of

participants in salmon fishing and to help reduce duplicate counts of salmon harvests or omissions. This

approach also aided in maintaining a more accurate list of current fishing households given the dynamism of

participation in salmon fishing. Each household identified was assigned a unique number in order to track

information related to the household. Households that may not usually fish, but periodically chose to do so

would not be omitted. Furthermore, this helped reduce the number of households that may have been

incorrectly classified in the preseason inventory. By stratifying all households into two strata, "usually fIShed"

and "usually did not fish," an estimate could be made of the number of fish taken by those classified as not

usually fishing and included in the total estimate for the drainage. In 1988, for the first time, harvest

calendars were sent to all households (2,700+) identified in the preseason inventory for collecting harvest

data from all households.

A second change in data collection was made to the harvest calendar itself. Three similar, but different

calendars were used for different segments of the drainage (lower, middle, and upper)2 (Appendix 1). Each

calendar, as in the past, was designed for recording the harvest of each species on a daily basis. However, the

calendar was modified in three major ways. F'U'St, it indicated only those species which occurred in each of

the three segments of the drainage. Second, species were identified by both their common name and the

term used by local residents as these varied within the drainage. For example, along the lower Yukon River

fall chum salmon3 were generally referred to as "fall chum," but along the middle and upper portions of the

zrhe lower Yukon River includes commercial fisheries management Districts 1, 2, and 3; the middle riverincludes fishing District 4 and the Koyukuk River, and the upper river includes fIshing Districts 5 and 6, aswell as the Chandalar and Black rivers.

7

Page 19: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

river, they were called "silvers." "Silvers," in tum, were distinguished from coho salmon which in some areas

were referred to as "chinook." Third, the revised calendar included only those months during which people

fished for salmon in each section of the drainage. For example, May through August along the lower river

and July through October along the upper river. These changes were not only intended to improve accuracy

of reporting, but also to facilitate the entry of data into computer files. Data entry was also facilitated by

printing calendars for each of the three sections on different colored paper. The harvest. calendar was the

only instrument used capable of recording timing of harvest by species on a daily and monthly basis.

A third component in data collection was the postseason field survey. Following the fishing season, field

workers were sent to each of the communities to pick up harvest calendars and administer a short

questioDDaire to each household. Table 1 identifies the dates of community visits. The questionnaire

(Appendix 2) served to collect harvest information if the salmon harvest calendar had not been used or was

partially used, and also to record information on fishing gear used, household size, number of dogs fed

salmon, and number of salmon fed to dogs4. Questions regarding fishing with other households were

specifically designed to avoid duplicate counting of fish caught cooperatively and shared between households.

Comments on salmon runs, fishing conditions, and regulations were also requested. In addition to this core

set of questions which were asked in all locations, other questions suggested by fishery managers were asked

in certain communities. For example, the questioDDaire used in Holy Cross and Shageluk contained

questions to determine if subsistence salmon were caught in the Innoko River or the Yukon River.

Postseason work was staggered to coincide with the close of the salmon fishing season in each section.

Lower Yukon River communities were surveyed in September, the middle river section in late September and

early October, and the upper river section in October (Table 1). Field researchers attempted to contact all

3 Summer and fall chum salmon are two distinct runs of chum salmon which enter the Yukon River.Summer chum salmon are chiefly characterized by earlier run timing (early June mid-July), rapidmaturation in freshwater, smaller size (average 6-7 pounds) and larger population. Summer chum salmonspawn primarily in run-off streams in the lower 500 miles of the drainage and in the Tanana River system.Fall chum salmon are mainly distinguished by later run timing (mid-July early September), robust bodyshape and bright silvery appearance, larger size (average 7-8 pounds) and smaller population. Fall chumsalmon spawn in the upper portion of the drainage in streams which are spring fed, usually remaining ice-freeduring the winter.

4As subsistence uses of wild resources includes uses for "transportation," salmon taken and used for feedingdogs which are used for other subsistence activities are included in the salmon harvest estimates. Salmonspecies used for feeding dogs included chum and coho.

households identified as "usually fished- first. If time permitted, other households were contacted about their

salmon fishing activities, if any. During these village visits, the preseason inventory of households was

updated also. In 1988, questionnaires were administered to households in all communities except Hooper

Bay, Scammon Bay, and Birch Creek. Harvests of households in these communities were determined by mail

from the return of harvest calendars or -reminder letters- described below (Appendix 3).

The fourth important and additional source of harvest data for the 1988 fishing season was from the return

of reminder letters. In November and December, these letters (Appendix 3) were mailed to approximately

l.S00 households that had not reported a harvest by means of returning a harvest calendar, through a

postseason personal interview, or a 1988 Yukon River subsistence salmon fishing permit (required for fishing

households in subdistricts 6A and 6B and certain areas in District 5 [Appendix 4], but similar to the voluntary

harvest calendar). The letter (with a prepaid preaddressed envelope enclosed) simply requested information

as to whether or not a household member fished for salmon for subsistence, and, if so, the number caught of

each species. Similarly, a reminder letter was sent to permit holders for recording harvests (Appendix 5).

Estimating Subsistence Salmon Harvests

Ideally, salmon harvest information from every household in a community would be collected. However,

dUe to manpower and fiscal constraints, this was not possible and information from a subset of households

must be used. If the information from the subset of households can be considered to be a representative

sample of the population, inferences about the larger defined population can be made from the information

gathered.

However, this use of "random" information is often very inefficient. For a heterogeneous population

statistical estimates for characteristics (means, totals, percentages) of the population provided by the "random

sample" may be very imprecise. Perhaps only a few households are involved in a certain harvest activity, or a

few households harvest the majority of salmon within a community. Under these conditions it would take a

large sample fraction to guarantee that these households would be included in the sample, and care must be

9

Page 21: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

taken that an overemphasis on sampling these households not be made so that the "random sample"

assumption not be violated.

One relatively straightforward sampling alternative to the random sample approach is the stratified

sample. Under this design households within the community are precategorized into groups, or strata. For

the Yukon River drainage subsistence salmon projCct, households were identified preseason as "usually

fished" or "usually did not fish". Information was gathered from households in each of the groups, but an

emphasis was made on contacting households in the "usually fished" group during village surveys. In order to

calculate community level statistics, strata level statistics are calculated and combined after adjusting for

disproportionate sampling intensity within each stratum.. In effect, an overemphasis on contacting households

more likely to participate in subsistence salmon harvesting can be made and information thus gathered can be

used in the correct perspective in order to calculate community level statistics.

A further refinement to previously used methodologies is the use of a "finite population correction factor"

in the calculation of variances associated with sample statistics. Variance is a measure of the imprecision of a

statistical estimate (i.e., the reliability of the estimate). The effect of the finite population correction factor is

to reduce the variance of an estimate as the relative sample size inc::reases. As the sample size approaches the

size of the population, the variance approaches zero, which is intuitively correct as there is no variation

associated with a statistic calculated from a censused population. Cochran (1977) suggests this adjustment

factor be used when 10 percent or more of the population is sampled. For the Yukon River drainage

subsistence salmon project, information was collected from 74 percent of the households defmed within the

drainage, and between 2S and 100 percent of the households within individual communities.

Data from the four information sources (subsistence salmon harvest calendars, community surveys,

reminder letters and subsistence salmon permits) were entered into a microcomputer database. Data were

verified against source documents, and several logic checks of the data were made. The master list of names

and addresses of resident households was updated to reflect changes in household composition and number

10

Page 22: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

of households residing in each community. The unique household numbering system was maintained on the

master list and on the database tables containing information from each of the four information sources.

Harvest information was collected by each of the information sources and information for a single

household may have been available from more than one source. In order to provide a single best estimate for

a household's harvest of a salmon species during 1988, information was composited from the various

information sources. To ensure data consistency, this process was conducted by a single researcher on the

project. In most cases, there were few discrepancies between information available from the different

sources. In those cases where a household survey was conducted and indicated that the household fished for

subsistence salmon, but no salmon harvest could be quantified through any information source, the harvest

was identified as "missing."

Guidelines developed during the course of the process to compile harvest information included:

(1) the assumption that the salmon harvest calendar would be the most accurate means of recordinga household's harvest;

(2) that information from the different sources for various species needed to be evaluatedconcurrently in order to identify the harvest for a particular species;

(3) that information from the different sources for a particular species may be different due to thetiming of the collection of this information;

(4) that information on the use of salmon to feed dogs be used as a minimum estimate of thehousehold's harvest if no other information is available.

The average community catch (Ck) was estimated by fish species and run of chum salmon from the

composite catch per household data. Mean community catch (Ck) was estimated by

Total estimates for community, district, fishing area and total drainage harvests are reported with

approximate 95 percent confidence intervals (two standard errors of the totals).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Household and FIShing Inventory

The preseason inventory identified a total of 2,536 households in 40 Yukon River drainage commUDities.

Of these, 1,495 households, or 59 percent of the tota.!. usually fished for salmon for subsistence purposes

(Andrews 1988b). The inventory indicated that up to 398 (36 percent) additional households fIShed for

salmon for subsistence than previous records indicated. In addition, 170 households were identified in

commUDities peripheral to the Yukon River drainage (Centra.!. Healy, Hooper Bay, Kantishna River,

Scammon Bay) which subsistence fish Yukon River salmon stocks. Since some households worked together

to harvest and process salmon for subsistence use, there was not a direct correlation between fIShing

households and fishing families. Identifying all households in the community not only served to determine

12

~

Page 24: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

the percentage of fishing households per community and drainage-wide, but also was deemed necessary for

implementing a new methodology for estimating total harvest as described in the section below. Postseason

survey work included updating household and fishing household lists that had been compiled prior to the

season. The total number of Yukon River drainage households (excluding peripheral communities)

remained nearly the same (2,S21 households), as did the number of identified fishing households (1,451),

between preseason and postseason surveys.

Sampling Results

Surveys were conducted with 1,328 households. Households that were surveyed included 73 percent of

households that usually fished and 49 percent of all households in the drainage (Tables 2 and 3). Previous

records of the Division of Commercial FISheries indicated there were 162 fishing households in the three

communities (Hooper Bay. Scammon Bay. and Birch Creek) not.visited of which 29 percent (48 households)

contributed 1988 harvest data by return maiL Approximately 33 percent of thC6C fishing households to whom

reminder letters;(eturned them with the requested information (529 of approximately 15(0). This data

collection method was an important source of harvest information for households in the stratum 'usually did

not fish.' Flfty-eight percent of the households in this group for which there is postseason information were

contacted by mail (Table 4). Among households contacted, fewer households (38 percent) in this category

than those that usually fish (86 percent) were contacted during field visits. The data from the field visits and

reminder letters contnbuted to estimating harvests of households that usually do not fish as described in the

following section. It was also an important source of harvest data for households in the three communities

not visited by field workers.

Of the 1,929 households for which there is any harvest information, 950 (49 percent) fIShed for salmon for

subsistence purposes in 1988. This included 63 percent of those households that usually fISh for salmon.

1988 Village, District, and Drainage Harvest and GetlT Totals

The 1988 harvest estimates for the Yukon River area were 44,564 chinook salmon; 226,754 summer

chum; 153,809 fall chum; and 67,852 coho (Table 5). The harvest estimate for each species is discussed

separately below.

Sample information, harvest estimates and confidenc:c intervals by community and fishing area for

chinook salmon are presented in Table 6. The 1988 harvest estimate was 44,564 chinook with an approximate

95 percent confidence interval of + j- 3,546 fish (or + j- 8 percent of the estimated total). Harvest estimates

for 5 of the 6 fishing districts had levels of precision within 15 percent of the estimated totals. The reported

harvest was 75 percent of the expanded estimated total. Over one-third of the chinook harvest was made by

households residing in fishing District 5, and one-fifth by households residing in fishing District 4. These

districts contained 43 percent of the defined households in the study area. Tanana (3,232 fish), Rampart

(3,145), Stevens Village (2,845), and Nenana (3,841) were the main chinook salmon harvesting communities.

Households that usually fish accounted for 90 percent of the reported chinook salmon harvest and 84

percent of the expanded estimated total. About one-half of the households that usually fish and for which

there was harvest information harvested chinook salmon, while only seven percent of the households that

usually do not fish and for which there was harvest information harvested this species.

Sample information, harvest estimates and confidence intervals by community and fIShing area for

summer chum salmon are presented in Table 7. The 1988 harvest estimate was 226,754 summer chum with

an approximate 95 percent confidence interval of + j- 19,835 fish (or + j- 9 percent of the estimated total).

Harvest estimates for fishing Districts 1, 2, and 3 had levels of precision within 15 percent of the estimated

totals. The reported harvest was 71 percent of the expanded estimated total. Households residing in fIShing

District 4 accounted for 31 percent of the estimated total summer chum harvest. Harvests in fishing Districts

which there was harvest information harvested summer chum salmon, but only 5 percent of the households

that usually do not fish and for which there was harvest information harvested this species.

In addition to the summer chum salmon harvests noted above, survey questionnaires were used to·

collect information on salmon removed from commercial catches by residents of selected communities in

District 4. These salmon were thought to be predominantly summer chum, and are primarily the result of

commercial roe sales. Thirty-four households in Anvik, Grayling, Kaltag, Koyukuk, and Nulato were

identified to have used salmon from their commercial catches. These households used over 100,000 salmon

for dog food, and an additional 3,260 were used for human consumption (Table 8).

Sample information, harvest estimates and confidence intervals by community and fIShing area for

fall chum salmon are presented in Table 9. The 1988 harvest estimate was 153,809 fall chum with an

approximate 9S percent confidence interval of + j- 17,665 fish (or + j- 12 percent of the estimated total).

Harvest estimates for fishing Districts 2, 3, and 4 had levels of precision within approximately 15 percent of

the estimated totals. The reported harvest was 71 percent of the expanded estimated total. Over one-half of

the fall chum was harvested by households residing in fishing District 5, while only one-fifth of the defined

households resided in this area. Residents of Tanana harvested over one-third of the total estimated fall

chum salmon harvest.

Households that usually fish accounted for 90 percent of the reported fall chum salmon harvest and

80 percent of the expanded estimated total. About one-third of the households that usually fISh and for which

there was harvest information harvested fall chum salmon, but only 6 percent of the households that usually

do not fish and for which there was harvest information harvested this species.

Sample information, harvest estimates and confidence intervals by community and fIShing area for

coho salmon are presented in Table 10. The 1988 harvest estimate was 67,852 coho with an approximate 95

percent confidence interval of +/- 10,034 fish (or +/- 15 percent of the estimated total). Harvest estimates

for only one fIShing district (District 2, 16 percent) had a level of precision within approximately 15 percent of

the estimated totals. The reported harvest was 72 percent of the expanded estimated total. Households

residing in fishing District 6 harvested 45 percent of the estimated total coho harvest. The combined harvests

15

Page 27: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

of residents of two communities, Tanana and Nenana, account for over 50 percent of the total estimated

harvesL

Households that usually fish accounted for TT percent of the reported coho salmon harvest and 69

percent of the expanded estimated total. One-fifth of the households that usually fish and for which there was

harvest information harvested coho salmon while only 6 percent of the households that usually do not fish and

for which there was harvest information harvested coho salmon.

In addition to salmon harvested with their own nets, residents of certain lower river communities

benefitted from fish received from Department ofFa and Game test fishing projects. These fish were made

available to households as by-products of Division of Commercial FISheries test fIShing projects which

monitored salmon run strength in those areas. Households in Emmonak, Kotlik, and Pilot Station which

were surveyed and could recall amounts of salmon received, reported that over SOO chinook salmon; 3,800

summer chum; 400 fall chum; and 150 coho were received from test fishing projects (Table 11). These fISh

were not included in the community harvest estimates for salmon.

Table 12 presents information on the gear used to harvest subsistence salmon. This information was

collected only during community surveys and was not available for all fishing households. The majority of

households that fished for subsistence salmon ('0/ percent, or 605 of 695 households that "fished and for which

gear information was known) used gill nets, while nearly one-fifth used fish wheels. Over one-half of the

fishing households used set gill nets, while over one-third used drift gill nets. Individual households may have

fished both set and drift gill nets. The majority of gill nets used had mesh sizes of 6 inches or smaller.

The postseason interviews also yielded information on household size and number of dogs per household

(Table 13). This information was recorded for 1,051 households. Overall, these households included 4,616

people and 4,803 dogs, approximately 4.4 people and 4.6 dogs per household. Largest household sizes were in

Districts 1 and 2 (greater than 5 per household) and smallest were in District 6 (3.2 per household). The

fewest number of dogs (2.1) per household was in District 1 and the largest (10.9 per household) in District 6.

Communities along the Koyukuk. Chandalar, and Black rivers had about 7 dogs per household.

16

Page 28: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

Comparison of1988 and Previous Harvest Estimation Methods

The estimation procedure resulted in an improvement in subsistence harvest estimates compared to the

methodology used in previous years. This was deterinined by using the earlier methodology and applying it to

the 1988 data (Table 14). This test showed, overall, that the previous method would have accounted for 70

percent of the estimated 1988 subsistence harvest. However, the results varied by species and by fishing

district (Table 15). For eDJI1Ple, the former method would have accounted for 33 to 89 percent of the

chinook salmon harvest estimates; 51 to 92 percent of summer chum harvested; and 29 to 92 percent of fall

chum harvested depending upon the fishing district in which the fish were taken. Overall, 74 percent of the

chinook harvest would have been estimated using the previous method, 82 percent of the summer chum

harvest, and 62 percent of the fall chum harvest.

The methodologies used in 1988 led to relatively precise harvest estimates. The one-sided approximate 95

percent confidence interval (2 standard errors) for chinook salmon was 8 percent of the estimated total

harvest. For other species comparable levels of precision were observed. For summer chum it was 8.7

percent of the estimated total harvest, 11.5 percent for fall chum, and 14.8 percent for coho. These levels of

precision are possible through the use of the variety of information sources, the intensity of sampling, and the

use of the stratified sampling design.

Results also indicated the dynamics of participation in subsistence salmon fishing. Thirty-five percent of

all households for which there was information harvested salmon in 1988. Among households that usually

fISh for salmon, 53 percent harvested these fish in 1988. Households in this group that did not fish in 1988

indicated that illness or cash-earning opportunities precluded their fishing for salmon. Nevertheless,

households in this group that did fish accounted for significant amounts of the salmon harvest. They

accounted for 90 percent of the reported chinook salmon harvest, 89 percent of the summer chum harvest, 90

percent of the fall chum harvest, and n percent of the coho harvest.

Fmally, 14 percent of households that usually do not fish for salmon, or whose fIShing status could not be

determined prior to the fishing season, harvested salmon in 1988. In 1989, field workers will attempt to

contact these households during community visits.

17

Page 29: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

1988 Frequency ofHarvests for Fishing Households

Harvest levels for fishing households were grouped into ranges for each species. Data are presented only

for households that actually reported fishing. In 1988, chinook salmon harvests ranged from 0 to over 380,

although this varied by district. In District 1 fishing households reported harvesting up to 139 chinook

salmon, up to 119 in District 2, up to 259 in District 3, and over 380 in some cases in Districts 4, 5, and 6

(FIgS. 3 and 4). In Districts 1 and 2, most fishing households harvested up to 19 chinook salmon; in District 3

up to 59; up to 20 in Districts 4 and 5; and none in District 6.

In 1988, summer chum harvests ranged from 0 to over 950 (Figs. 5 and 6). The most cases of fIshing

households harvesting more thaD 950 summer chum for subsistence use were in District 4 (Fig. 6). In

contrast to chinook harvests, a larger number of fishing households in Districts 4, 5, and 6 reported that they

did not fish for summer chum in 1988. However, a number of fishing households did remove summer chum

salmon for subsistence from their commercial catch (Table 8). Secondarily, households in these districts

harvested up to 49 summer chum. In Districts 1, 2, and 3, the largest number of households, as in the upriver

districts, harvested up to 49 summer chum. Summer chum do not occur in most portions of District 5.

Fall chum harvests by fIshing households extended up to 349 in DiStricts 1 and 2, up to 299 in District 3,

and greater thaD 950 in Districts 4, 5, and 6 (Figs. 7 and 8). In 1988, a minority of ftshing households in all

districts, except 6, fished for fall chum salmon. In District 6, most fIshing households harvested up to 49 or

greater thaD 950 fall chum salmon (Fig. 8). Similarly, in District 5, ftshing households harvested up to 49 or

greater thaD 950 fall chum. In Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4 most households harvested up to 19 fall chum.

The harvest of coho by fIshing households showed a similar pattern as fall chum. With the exception of

District 6, a minority of households in each district harvested coho (Figs. 9 and 10). Harvests ranged from 0

to greater than 380. In District 6, most households harvested more than 380 coho. In all other districts, most

ftshing households harvested up to 49 coho salmon.

Subsistence Harvest Levels. lWT-88

Subsistence salmon harvests for Yukon River drainage commUDities have been estimated since 1961 by the

state of Alaska. Through 1976, harvests were reported for chinook salmon and ·other· or "small" salmon. In

1971, harvest data for chinook as well as both runs of chum salmon (termed ·summer" and "fall" chum) and

coho have been separately rec:orded and estimated for each community. Iil1988, as noted earlier, the harvest

recording calendar and postseason interviews sought to further improve on the accuracy of reporting by

species by using terms used by local residents when referring to each species or run of salmon.

In general, harvest levels of all species ina-eased from 1971 through 1988 compared to harvest estimations

for the 1963-76 period (BraDDian et ai.). However, it is unclear what the actual harvest levels were prior to

the 1960s when dog team transportation and the sale, trade, and barter of dried salmon were common. In

addition, changes in subsistence activities which have come about primarily since the 1950s due to factors

associated with centralization of the Native population, probably contributed to some level of harvest

reduction observed in the 1960s (Andrews 1989). Therefore, the inaeasing trend in harvests beginning in the

late 1970s may, in part, reflect a return to earlier harvest levels.

Since 1971, the number of fishing families has only slightly inaeased, with the exception of those in

District 3 (Table 16). Increases since 1986 are viewed primarily as reflecting a change in recording harvest

information by household rather than "fishing family" which sometimes included several households.

Estimating future subsistence harvest levels has become particularly important in management and

allocation decisions in order to provide for adequate escapement and to comply with state law providing for

subsistence uses. Annual harvest estimates are necessary to provide for future uses which must be estimated

based on past harvest levels, as it is very difficult to collect accurate harvest information in season.

Chinook Salmon

Since 1m, subsistence harvest of chinook salmon has ranged from 17,033 in 1m to high of 48,722 in 1987

(Table 17). However, harvests have fluctuated by as much as 26,000 fish from one year to the next. Only

19

Page 31: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

since 1986 has the harvest level drainage wide remained above 40,000 chinook. Similarly, chinook harvests

show an overall increase in each fishing district since lSTT, however, the harvest has fluctuated from year to

year (Table 17, FIg. 11). Harvests have fluctuated most in Districts 1, 2, and 4, whereas Districts 3,5, and 6

show considerably less fluctuation. District 5 has consistently accounted for the largest percentage of the

chinook harvest accounting for about 30 to 40 percent of the total (Fig. 12). Secondarily, District 4 has

accounted for about 20 to 30 percent of the total harvest. These two districts, therefore, have generally

accounted for 50 to 70 percent of the total chinook harvest for subsistence.

Average harvest per fishing family for each district shows a different pattern. Since lSTT, average family

harvests have generally been highest in District 3 (Table 18, Fig. 13). District 3 harvest has ranged from 75 to

108 chinook per family. Secondarily, District 5 average family harvests have ranged from about 41 to 98.

Average family harvests in the other districts generally has been between 20 and 50 chinook.

Summer Chum Salmon

Summer chum harvests have ranged from a low of 157,791 in lSTT to 276,485 in 1986 (Table 19). In most

years, the harvest has exceeded 200,000 fIsh. With the exception of District 4, summer chum harvests have

been less than 42,000 fish in each district since lSTT and show little variability from year to year (Table 19,

Fig. 14). Summer chum harvests in District 4 have ranged between about 70,000 and 220,000 fish and showed

the most fluctuation from year to year between 1979 and 1984. District 4 harvests have accounted for about

50 to 80 percent of the total harvest (Fig. 15).

As noted earlier, the large summer chum harvest in District 4 has been largely attributed to the

commercial salmon roe fishery in the district. Carcasses cut for roe and hung to dry have typically been

counted in the subsistence catch. In 1988, fishing households in District 4 were explicitly asked to indicate the

number of such salmon that were to be used for subsistence purposes (Appendix 2). The 1988 reported

harvest for these fish in selected communities appears in Table 8. As a result, the subsistence harvest was the

lowest of any year since 1978, and is likely a more accurate reflection of the actual subsistence harvest in that

district.

20

Page 32: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

Average fishing family harvests, with the exception of District 4, have generally been less than 200 summer

chum (Table 20, rtg. 16). In District 6, average family harvests since 1983, have ranged between about 100

and 400. Although District 4 average family harvests have ranged between about 400 and 1,100 fish since

1m, the 1988 average family· harvest was about 400. This apparent reduction, again, is attnbuted to

recording the harvest used for subsistence in District 4 communities. Overall, with the exception of District 6,

there has been no definite trend toward increasing average family harvests of summer chum (Ftg. 16).

Fall Chum Salmon

The harvest of fall chum salmon for subsistence has ranged from 81,256 in lm to 222,835 in 1979 (Table

21). Similar to chinook harvests, there has been a relatively large fluctuation from year to year, on a drainage

wide basis. Most fluctuation in harvest has been in District 5 where harvests have ranged between about

30,000 and 110,000 fish (Table 21, Fig. 17). Fall chum harvests in Districts 4 and 6 have generally been

between 20,000 and 40,000. Districts 1, 2, and 3 have had relatively consistent harvests of fall chum since

lm, all less than about 20,000 in each year. Districts 5 and 6 combined have accounted for about 65 to 90

percent of the total fall chum harvests since lm (Fig. 18).

Correspondingly, average fishing family harvests have been greatest in Districts 5 and 6. Since 1981,

family harvests in both districts have ranged between about 300 and 800, whereas in District 4 average family

harvests have been between about 100 and 200, and in Districts 1, 2, and 3, average family harvests have been

less than 100 (Table 22, Fig. 19). In all districts since 1981, there has been no definite trend in the average

family harvest of fall chum.

Coho Salmon

The harvest of coho salmon for subsistence has ranged from 6,984 in 1978 to 66,003 in 1988 (Table 23).

Since 1980, coho harvests have steadily increased, although these have fluctuated. Some of the increase in the

1980s is attributed to improved reporting of coho salmon, which often have been reported by local residents

21

Page 33: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

with fall chum harvests. As noted earlier, in 1988, the harvest calendar and survey questioonaires were

designed to employ local terms for this species and to distinguish them from fall chum, as the two species

tend to run concurrently. This probably accounts, in large part, for the increased reported harvest from about

46,000 in 1987 to 66,000 in 1988 (Table 23). In addition, improved run strength may be another factor.

Since 1980, coho harvests have been slightly increasing in all districts except Districts 3 and 4. Harvests in

those districts and District 1 have generally been less than 5,000 fish (Fig. 20). District 5 and 6 harvests have

ranged between about 5,000 and 30,000 during the same period. Since 1984, Districts 5 and 6 have accounted

for at least 50 percent of the total harvest (FIg. 21).

Average family harvests have been greatest in District 6 in all years, ranging between about 100 and 300

since 1m (Table 24, Fig. 22). In most years, District 5 average family harvests have been less than 100 coho,

and generally less than 50 in the remainder of the districts. As with other species, the variability of the

subsistence harvest among districts is related to several factors, such as abundance, distribution of the species,

fishing methods, and subsistence fishing patterns.

. District and Drainage Harvest in Pounds. 1977-88

This is the first report which has converted into pounds round weight the total number of salmon

harvested for subsistence use in the Yukon River drainage. Harvest information was converted into pounds

round weight by multiplying the total number of each salmon species harvested by the average weight of

salmon caught in the commercial fishery reported in each annual management report for each fishing season

since 1m (Alaska Department of F"JSh and Game lm-88). Conversion factor differences between salmon

.caught in the lower and upper sections of the river were maintained.

Total pounds harvested has ranged from about 2 million pounds in 1m to nearly 5 millions pounds in

1987 (Table 25, Fig. 23). Harvests have been highest in Districts 4 and 5 where more than 1 million pounds

has been harvested in each district in most of the past 12 years. These two districts combined have accounted

for 60 to 70 percent of the total pounds harvested during the past 12 years (Fig. 24).

22

Page 34: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

Because of the preponderance of summer chum harvested in the commercial salmon roe fishery in

subdistrict 4A, harvest was also computed less summer chum. This was deemed appropriate given that the

cut and dried carcasses of fish caught in the commercial roe fishery have typically been attributed to the

subsistence fishery when, in fact, they were not caught or processed for subsistence use. Pounds of salmon

harvested for subsistence, less summer chum, was nearly one-half of total pounds for all species combined. It

has ranged from about 1 milUon pouu,ds in 1971 to about 2.75 milUon pounds in 1987 (Table 26, FIg. 25). The

largest percentage has occurred in District 5, which has accounted for 35 to 55 percent of the harvest since

1971 (Fig. 26). District 5 nearly coasistently accounted from about 46 percent of the total pounds harvested

(less summer chum). Districts 4 and 6 have accounted for the second largest percentage of salmon harvested

in pounds round weight (FIg. 26).

Discussion and Conclusions

Salmon harvest statistics are essential for fisheries management purposes and are of ever-increasing

importance in the applied social and biological sciences (d. Usher and WeDZe11987). The harvest of salmon

in the Yukon River drainage in Alaska has been and continues to be important both in the subsistence

economy and also in the market economy. Subsistence and commercial fishermen, often the same

individuals, have a real interest in the maintenance of the sustained yield of salmon stocks in the Yukon River

drainage. This can be accomplished best when there is reliable data on the biological status of salmon stocks,

including accurate information on the level of subsistence harvests.

The Yukon River drainage is large and communities which depend upon the harvest of salmon for

subsistence are situated throughout 1,200 river miles and associated tributaries. In 1988, there were over

2,700 households in these communities, most of which use salmon for subsistence. Not all households

actually fished for salmon as the harvest was shared among community households. However, it was

important to identify all fishing households in order to be able to record their harvests.

Overall, the methodology developed and used in 1988 provided a 30 percent improvement in the harvest

estimate compared to the method previously used. The estimated 1988 subsistence harvest was 44,564

23

Page 35: Subsistence harvest of Pacific salmon in the Yukon River drainage ...

chinook; 226,754 summer chum; 153,809 fall chum; and 67,852 coho. The degree of improvement was greater

for some salmon species harvested and for certain fishing districts than for others. Levels of confidence for

estimated total salmon harvest were within 15 percent of the estimated totals.

The application of a refined methodology in 1988 demonstrated the importance of having a current list of

fishing households and the need to contact households during commUDity visits after the fishing season.

Because the estimate was derived from a sample of households, it was critical to be able to accurately

describe both the population from which the sample was selected and the sample itself. Secondly, the best

means for recording harvests came from field work in communities, rather than the return from fishermen of

harvest calendars or reminder letters requesting harvest information. However, the postseason reminder

letter was an efficient and cost-effective method of contacting households that were not likely to have fished

for salmon for subsistence.

In our opinion, the success of the revised methodology resulted from the derivation of a statistically-valid

sample and the emphasis on the field work component for collecting harvest data. The broad-based approach

of personally contacting most households which fished for salmon also contributed to the reliability of the

data. FIShermen voluntarily answered a series of questions about their fishing activities and were also

interested to learn of the effort to improve subsistence harvest. estimates. In addition, using a sampling

method which can accommodate the dynamism in fishing participation by maintaining current household lists

helps to insure that all fishing households will be contacted for harvest information. Fmally, the improved

accuracy of the subsistence harvest estimate can go a long way toward bringing together fishermen and

managers through a mutual appreciation of the relevance of accurate subsistence harvest data in managing

and allocating the salmon resource.
