    Early Estimates Disappointing For 2016 Fraser River Sockeye Returns

    The Canadian Press, 31 May, 2016 11:46 AM
      KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Early predictions for 2016 Fraser River sockeye salmon returns are not promising.
       
      Fisheries and Oceans Lower Fraser area director Jennifer Nener says about 2.27-million sockeye are expected this year.
       
      That's comparable to 2015, when just over two-million sockeye reached Fraser River spawning grounds.
       
      Nener estimates late-run sockeye returns will also be low, at around 100,000 fish.
       
      She says returns will be monitored closely and harvest levels will be adjusted, if required. (CHNL)
