An interesting observation on a Alaskan coho run, fished for the last 30 years or so at 60% withruns varying from about 1,500 to to12,000.

Coho productivity was NOT related to coho escapement, coho productivity was NOT related to marine survival, coho productivity WAS directly related to pink escapement.

We keep the chum numbers down low and we can ensure that we need those "extra" coho for harvest.
