Description:

Historically, Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha have supported important fisheries throughout the Yukon River basin, but dramatic declines in abundance since the late 1990s have resulted in smaller returns, severe reductions in harvests, and difficulties in meeting escapement goals. These observations coincide with major climatic changes in the northern Pacific, characterized by a general warming trend throughout the region. Our objective was to document the migratory patterns of the fish in relation to the environmental conditions encountered in order to assess the impact of climate change and help manage the returns.
