Interested in following the progression of the 2025 Bristol Bay salmon run relative to our preseason forecast (54.1 million run, with a harvest of 37.8 million fish or 209.6 million lbs.)? Check out the inseason website we update each day: alaskasalmonprogram.org/bris…

What's the latest from #BristolBay? Based on the pattern (red distribution) in Port Moller Test Fishery catches (grey pts), it would appear the run is arriving ~2 days early inshore This would suggest that ~48% of the 2025 season total catch escapement was recorded through 7/4

Total Bristol Bay catch escapement is currently tracking with a run arriving inshore ~2 days earlier than the average. In the figs below the grey points are 2025 C E, and the blue lines are the expected total C E for a run equal to our preseason forecasts with average run timing

Well, it is an understatement to say that the 2025 Bristol Bay sockeye salmon run is off to a rapid start. The 4.8 million total catch escapement through 6/24 is the third highest inshore run to date since 1980 Strong start in the Nushagak and Ugashik districts!

How do we address rapid changes in fleet structure within integrated stock assessments? When is it necessary to represent sex-structured dynamics? Matt Cheng used Alaska sablefish and simulations to address these questions. See his @UAFcfos PhD defense on Monday 10/21 @ 1pm AK
