1 Selective Fisheries What is Selectivity and how is it used in Columbia River Fisheries?

2 Selective Fisheries What is a Selective Fishery? Mark-Selective Selective: : Harvest limited to retention of fin-marked hatchery fish T-A-G G Selective: : Fisheries using time, area, and/or gear regulations to minimize by-catch while targeting a specific species or stock Why Needed? Minimize take of wild fish to remain within total ESA and fishery-specific specific impact guidelines Minimize by-catch Maximize harvest of target stock

3 Selective Fisheries Columbia River Recreational Fisheries Mark Selective Mainstem spring Chinook, coho,, steelhead Tributary spring Chinook, coho,, steelhead T-A-G G Selective Select Area fall Chinook Mainstem fall Chinook (since 2007) Non-Selective Mainstem summer Chinook (since 05)

Frequency of capture and release conditions for spring Chinook collected in 4.25 and 4.5" tangle nets, 2002 and 2004.

16 Conclusions: Selective Fisheries Many types of selectivity exist Regardless of selectivity, all mixed stock fisheries impact ESA-listed stocks to some degree Need to consider both incremental and cumulative affects to determine impact of fishery on listed stocks Refining time, area, gear selectivity is a trial and error process (need time and research to refine) What type and amount of selectivity is needed for a fishery to be selective?
