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 and preseason outlooks, and results of cooperative research projects. This report summarizes the status of Chinook, coho, and summer and fall chum salmon stocks in 2011, presents an outlook for the 2012 season, and provides data on utilization of salmon species by commercial, subsistence, aboriginal, personal use, domestic, and sport/recreational fisheries. Summaries of Yukon River projects (e.g., mark-recapture, sonar, stock identification) and a review of salmon bycatch in the groundfish and pollock fisheries of the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska are provided.
