The Albion Sockeye numbers seem very low.
Take a look at the FN Sockeye catches over the weekend: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fraserriver/firstnations/HTMLs/SockeyeKeptCatch.html
5600 Sockeye caught over the weekend.
Albion shows only 6 Sockeye caught in the last few days.
Does anyone have a link for the Johnstone Strait test fishery?
Someone said the numbers look good but I haven't been able to find a link.

They are likely using the larger mesh sizes on their nets so most sockeye can escape through them.....

Do not trust these numbers as there are so many nets :o that it is hard to get an accurate count

Is there an independant observer on the test boat?
-
I believe the Albion boat uses 8" mess with a 3" hang which is ideal for most Chinook. It takes a pretty big sockeye to get gilled in that.

Why would there need to be? From what I understand they boat operators are not government employees.
-
There have been higher number for chinook the last two day though.

I believe the operators are employees of Bruces Market

Bruce's Market has the contract to buy all their fish, however the gill netters I believe are independents.

Things are looking up. Some good numbers coming in.
-
Actually if you look at last year compared to this year, things are not looking that great, although it has picked up a bit the past couple of days.
-
Finally figured out why the Albion numbers seem off - they run different nets on alternate days.
One is designed to catch Chinook (8" mesh), the other is for mixed salmon ('multi-panel' net).
Here are the Sockeye numbers for the last week or so:
Aug 4 – 47 Sockeye (probably the multi-panel net)
Aug 5 – 0 Sockeye (probably the 8” mesh net)
Aug 6 – 11 Sockeye (MP net)
Aug 7 – 5 Sockeye (8” net)
Aug 8 – 34 Sockeye (MP net)
Aug 9 – 19 Sockeye (8” net)
Aug 10 – 23 Sockeye (MP net)
