The preliminary 2018 Late Run Sockeye spawning escapement estimate totals 1,584,850 of which 735,119 are adult males, 849,721 are adult females and 10 are jacks (Table 1). It is 69% of the 2014 brood year escapement of 2,303,384 and 64% of the cycle average (excluding 2002 due to incomplete assessment) of 2,468,905 (Figure 1). It is 81% of the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) estimate of potential spawning escapement1 of 1,950,188, 84% of the spawning escapement target of 1,880,000 and 82% of the projected spawning escapement2 of 1,933,800 based on the Fraser River panel final in-season adopted Late Run size of 4,700,000.
