EXCERPTS 2012 Chinook and Summer Chum Outlooks The expected total Yukon River Chinook salmon run size is between 109,000 and 146,000 fish based on low productivity since 2007. Thus, the 2012 Yukon River Chinook salmon run size will likely be poor to below average, and conservation measures will be necessary to share the available harvest. The 2012 summer chum salmon run size is anticipated to be 1.5-2 million fish. A run of this size should provide for escapement, a normal subsistence harvest, and a potential surplus of 500,000 -1 million fish available for commercial harvest. Summer chum salmon runs have provided for a harvestable surplus in each of the last 9 years (2003–2011). For detailed information on the...
