Book excerpt: The Fraser River Sockeye Public Review Board conducted an independent investigation of the apparent disappearance of several million sockeye salmon which would normally have migrated to spawning areas in the Fraser River watershed in 1994. The Board review had three main objectives: to identify the reasons for the discrepancies in the expected and actual number of sockeye salmon arriving on the spawning ground; to evaluate the accuracy of the Pacific Salmon Commission's methodology for estimating run sizes and sockeye escapement in the Fraser River; and to make recommendations on how any deficiencies can be corrected. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Board and includes an examination of the role of environmental factors, a review of the institutions involved and the fishery management techniques employed, and an evaluation of the federal Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy.
