2 Synopsis Background- mixed stock fisheries in NCI Objectives Study design- stratification, genetic reporting groups, sampling, analysis Preliminary results Acknowledgements and questions

3 Purpose To estimate the stock-specific harvests of Chinook salmon from the Tyonek subsistence fishery and the Northern District commercial set gillnet fishery to improve understanding of stock dynamics in Northern Cook Inlet (NCI) Photo courtesy

4 Background Mixed stock fisheries in NCI including large sport fisheries (eg. Deshka, Little Su) and several stocks of concern (eg. Alexander, Sheep, and Goose creeks) Photo courtesy

5 Study Objectives 1) Estimate the proportion of Chinook salmon harvested by the Tyonek subsistence fishery and the UCI Northern District set gillnet commercial fishery by reporting group. 2)Estimate the age composition of these Chinook salmon. Secondary Objectives 1) Sample 70% of the commercial harvest for tissue, coded-wire tags (CWTs), age, sex, and length. Images

13 Laboratory Analysis Samples sent to GCL with paired ASL and harvest date and area data DNA extracted from tissue samples and genotyped for 48 SNP markers specific to Cook Inlet Chinook

14 Mixed Stock Analysis (MSA) Uses a Bayesian algorithm to estimate the most probable contribution of the baseline populations to explain the combination of genotypes in the mixture sample.
