Coho salmon

Several cohozalm fisheries are [MSC Certified msc-certified], all in Alaska. These use many different fishing methods, including the “fishing wheel” a row of nets that rotate in the flow, thus creating the fish from the stream, after which they fall into a catchment. Pacific salmon fishing is well regulated and the methods make little damage to nature.

A number of Russian cohozalm fisheries are in the MSC assessment range

Most stocks of coho salmon in Alaska are doing well.

These fishing methods pose no danger to protected species and there are little bycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards).  and discardsDiscards:
Unwanted by-catch, which is thrown back because there is no quota, the market price is too low, or the fish is below the legal minimum landing size. Discards can be alive or dead.. The seabed is not disrupted by the pelagic fishery. The effects of releasing young salmon on the ecosystem are still unknown. The disappearing of salmon will have a big impact of the nutrient supply of freshwater ecosystems.

The coho salmon fishery is well managed by determining escapement goals for the most important salmon stocks.

The coho salmon stocks in British-Columbia are very small.

In the trollingTrolling:
A variation within handline fishing, whereby the lines with bait or artificial bait are slowly being pulled through the water.  fishery on salmon there is bycatch of bottom fish. These bycatches are often landed too. The effects of releasing young salmon on the ecosystem are still unknown. The disappearing of salmon will have a big impact of the nutrient supply of freshwater ecosystems.

The coho salmon fishery is well managed by determining escapement goals for the most important salmon stocks, and intensive monitoring.

The catch of Coho salmon is only a small part of the Russian salmon fishery. Coho salmon is mostly bycatch from the fisheries on Chum and pink salmon. There are no data available on this fishery, therefore the impact of this fishery on the Coho salmon stock cannot be assessed.

The fishing with [fykes] has generally few negative effects on vulnerable species, only the bycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards).  of the protected salmon species Taimen. There is probably a negative impact of the fyke fishery on this endangered salmon species.

The management is largely effective.

The effect of this fishery on vulnerable salmon stocks is unknown. There are measures being made to decrease the fishing pressure on salmon. The effects of releasing young salmon on the ecosystem are still unknown. The disappearing of salmon will have a big impact of the nutrient supply of freshwater ecosystems.

De Coho [zalmbestanden bestand] in Brits-Colombia zijn erg klein.

Het effect van vissen met [zegens] op bedreigde zalmbestanden is niet bekend. Maatregelen om de [visserijdruk] te verminderen zijn momenteel in de maak. Wat de effecten zijn op het ecosysteem van het loslaten van jonge zalm is nog onbekend. Het verdwijnen van zalm heeft zal grote effecten hebben voor de [nutriëntentoevoer nutrienten] van zoetwaterecosystemen.

De zalmvisserij wordt goed beheerd door het vaststellen van [“escapement goals” escapement-goals] voor de belangrijkste zalmbestanden en door intensieve monitoring.

The coho salmon stocks in British-Columbia are very small.

GillnetsGillnets:
A fishing technique whereby passing fish get caught in the meshes with their gills. The net stands vertically on the bottom or hangs on buoys in the water column. The by-catch of species such as porpoises and dolphins is a problem related to gillnets. are a hazard for endangered salmon stocks and seabirds. The effects of releasing young salmon on the ecosystem are still unknown. The disappearing of salmon will have a big impact of the nutrient supply of freshwater ecosystems.

[Driftnets] are a hazard for vulnerable seabirds, dolphins and whales. It is estimated that there are a lot of bycatch and discards in this fishery, but unfortunately there are no trustworthy data on this.

Illegal, Unreported and Unreported (IUU) fishery is also a big problem. Catches are not or falsely reported to the authorities. The management on this fishery is not effective.
