improve upon the economic performance of their inland commercial fishery for sockeye salmon while_x000D_
protecting co-migrating sockeye stocks of conservation concern. In this fishery, revenues could be enhanced_x000D_
substantially by timing harvest opportunities to maximize flesh quality if it could be done so without_x000D_
compromising the ecological sustainability of their commercial operations. This is limited by a lack of_x000D_
knowledge of both the timing of stock-specific migration patterns through Lake Babine and flesh deterioration_x000D_
processes. The proposed research will employ both external mark-recapture tagging combined with_x000D_
physiological tools to assess run-timing of Lake Babine sockeye salmon and monitor flesh deterioration_x000D_
