The Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of the United States and Canada serves as a scientific advisory body to the Yukon River Panel. The JTC discusses harvest and escapement goals, management trends, postseason reviews, preseason outlooks, and results of cooperative research projects. This report summarizes the status of chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho (O. kisutch), and summer and fall chum salmon (O. keta) stocks in 2013, presents an outlook for the 2014 season, and provides data on salmon harvests in commercial, subsistence, Native, personal use, domestic, and sport/recreational fisheries. Summaries of Yukon River research projects (e.g. escapement counting and sampling, stock identification), a review of marine fisheries and research pertinent to Yukon River salmon, and a summary of 2013 Restoration and Enhancement Fund projects are also included. The tables and graphs include historical data, in some cases as far back as 1961.
