This report summarizes the status of chinook salmon, fall chum salmon, salmon bycatch in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska trawl fisheries, marine research surveys, fall chum salmon assessments on the Porcupine and Fishing Branch rivers, sonar project guidelines, and salmon and habitat restoration planning by a Canadian agency. The spring meeting reviewed outlooks and management plans for the upcoming 2017 season. Numerous statistics are provided for the years 1961 to 2016.
