Description: The estimated contribution of stocked chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha to the Ninilchik River sport harvest was 50% in 1993. An estimated 5,610 chinook salmon were harvested, with 2,782 estimated to be hatchery produced. An estimated 15,054 chinook salmon were caught with a total effort of 51,203 angler- hours. Harvest and effort have increased since stocked chinook salmon began returning to the Ninilchik River in 1991. Although initially most of the increase in harvest was due to stocked chinook salmon, harvest of non-stocked chinook is now quadruple the 1986-1990 average harvest of about 750.
