Abstract

Management of Salmon populations in large rivers like the Skeena (B.C., Canada) is usually done in two stages. First long range goals and data are used to set annual target exploitation rates for each stock or population that spawns in the river. Second, actions are taken within each fishing season to regulate catches so as to produce the target exploitation. The most difficult monitoring and decision problems are associated with intra-season management; the purpose of this paper is to outline a control system for dealing with these problems.
