This report presents the results of a project to identify and understand changes in nonsalmon subsistence patterns in the Aniak River drainage during 2001-2003. Data were collected through key respondent interviews and household surveys in Aniak and Chuathbaluk. Key respondent interviews were conducted with 5 individuals in Aniak in 2002, and documented local knowledge related to critical habitats, life histories, and seasonal movements of nonsalmon species, along with changes in the quality and abundance of fish over time in the drainage. Household surveys on nonsalmon harvests were completed with most (80-90%) Aniak and Chuathbaluk households in 2002 and 2003, resulting in baseline subsistence harvest estimates...

This final report documents subsistence harvest estimates for Pacific salmon in the Kuskokwim Fisheries Management Area for 2004, on the basis of surveys in 30 communities along the Kuskokwim River and Kuskokwim Bay, including Nelson Island. Compared to 2003 harvest estimates, harvests increased, with the exception of sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka, demonstrating again the importance of salmon for subsistence in this area. In Bethel, nonsalmon fish comprised about 18% of total fish harvested for subsistence. This salmon harvest monitoring research continues to be critical for fisheries managers for their use in planning for adequate salmon escapement and providing continued uses of salmon for subsistence purposes.
