NPAFC Statistics and regions: Pacific Salmonid Catch and Hatchery Release Data

  • English
  • fra
  • All

Since 1993, NPAFC has generated hard-copy and on-line versions of its Statistical Yearbooks anf fishery regions containing salmonid catch and hatchery release statistics. In recent years, a time series of statistical data was developed to examine salmon production trends. These data included statistics for decades prior to 1993 and updated some of the more recent data. In 2013, work was begun to create electronic data files that combined NPAFC statistics with the time series data and to make these statistics available to the public. The time series data are available for download from this webpage and have replaced the hard-copy and on-line versions of the NPAFC Statistical Yearbooks.


There are two data files that contain statistics: (1) catch statistics and (2) hatchery release statistics.

One document contains the metadata for both statistics files.


NPAFC Catch Statistics

Commercial Catch: reported by Canada, Japan, Korea, Russia, and USA

reported in number of fish (thousands) and weight (metric tonnes)

Sport Catch: reported by Canada, Russia, and USA

reported in number of fish (thousands)

Subsistence Catch: reported by Canada, Russia, and USA

reported in number of fish (thousands)


NPAFC Hatchery Release Statistics

Hatchery release statistics: reported by Canada, Japan, Korea, Russia, and USA

reported in number of fish (thousands).

Purpose

The NPAFC Convention prohibits directed fishing for Pacific salmon and steelhead trout in Convention waters, except for scientifically reviewed and approved research fishing. The five member countries (Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, and United States of America) conduct directed fisheries and stock enhancement activities within their own waters, and they report salmon and steelhead catch and enhancement statistics to NPAFC.

Many people contributed significantly to the development of the electronic statistical data files, provided new or supplementary data, and reviewed or provided information for this document. They include Gladys Oka (University of British Columbia); the WGSA and their colleagues : James Irvine (Chairperson, DFO), Arlene Tompkins (DFO), Toshihiko Saito (FRA), Kwan Eui Hong (FIRA), Ju Kyoung Kim (FIRA), Do Hyun Lee (FIRA), Nataliya Klovach (VNIRO), Rich Lincoln (SOS), Erik Neatherlin and Eric Kraig (WDFW), Andrew Munro, Eric Volk, Ron Josephson and Cathy Tide (ADFG); and Yulia Simakova (2014 NPAFC Intern). Minho Kang (2015 NPAFC Intern) meticulously compared the complete catch data and hatchery release files through 2014 with the original source materials, and he made the necessary updates and corrections to the data files. The help and assistance of these people was instrumental to the completion of this task and for providing recent statistics.
