Description: This final report documents subsistence salmon harvest estimates for the Kuskokwim Fisheries Management Area for the year 2004, on the basis of surveys in 30 communities along the Kuskokwim River and Kuskokwim Bay, including Nelson Island. Methods used to collect salmon harvest information included household surveys, harvest calendars and postcard surveys. Data include numbers of salmon harvested for subsistence uses, gear used, numbers of salmon used for dog food, and numbers of salmon retained from commercial catches. This salmon harvest monitoring research is to be critical for fisheries managers for their use in planning for adequate salmon escapement and providing continued uses of salmon for subsistence purposes.
