Coho Update
In-season management measures for northern boundary area Coho are defined 
within Attachment B: Management of Northern Boundary Coho of Chapter 7: General 
Obligations in the Canada US Pacific Salmon Treaty. This agreement identifies 
CPUE thresholds within the south east Alaskan (SEAK) Area 6 commercial troll 
fishery during stat weeks 27 to 29 that trigger closures within boundary area 
commercial Coho fisheries in both countries. The mean weekly average CPUE in 
the SEAK Area 6 troll fishery was 16 Coho per vessel day and falls below the 
first trigger that closes boundary SEAK and the Area F Troll fishery in Dixon 
Entrance for 10 days commencing stat week 31.  A copy of the Pacific Salmon 
Treaty can be downloaded directly from the Pacific Salmon Commission website at
