Ocean fisheries were modeled with 2009 Council regulations and 2009 expectations for non-Council area
fisheries. Under this scenario, expected exploitation rates are 30.2 percent on OCN coho and 7.0 percent
on Rogue/Klamath hatchery coho. Expected spawner escapement is 104,400 for OCN coho (Tables III-7
and III-8). For Columbia River hatchery coho stocks, the predicted ocean exploitation rate (excluding
Buoy 10) is 62.1 percent on the Columbia River early stock and 72.9 percent on the Columbia River late
stock. Predicted ocean escapements (after Buoy 10) into the Columbia River in 2010 under this exercise
show that under 2009 ocean regulations, Columbia River early coho would not be expected to meet egg
take goals and Columbia River late coho would be expected to meet hatchery egg take goals (without
further inside fishing).

Thanks Smalma..This is what I'm refering to, if were going to have this high of an Ocean explotation rate we better be really sure of what the true mortality rate is..Thanks for the insight on PS fisheries from yourself and others..
