  • "The permanent counting fence on Black Creek was operated between April 6 and June 11, 2006, to enumerate and coded-wire tag coho smolt out-migration. During the spring program, a total 126,171 smolts were captured, and sampled, of which 36,717 (29.1%) were successfully coded-wire tagged and released. As in most previous years of the program, the out-migration was predominantly comprised of age 1 smolts (98.9%). Due to drought conditions the adult counting fence was operated from November 5 to November 15, 2006. A total of 189 large adults and 389 jacks were enumerated (male to female ratio of 1:1.4) and tagged for mark-recovery escapement estimation. Stream surveys extended from November 21 to December 12 to determine the proportion of marks in the population. The single-census Petersen mark-recapture population estimate ([alpha] = .05) for adult coho was 550 ± 250 and 486 ± 200 for jacks. The mode of the Bayesian population estimate for adult coho escapement is 565 (95% highest probability density (HPD) of 353 to 1,113). The mode of the Bayesian population estimate for adults + jacks is 1,530 with 95% HPD of 1,085 to 2,395,. Catch of Black Creek coho was back-calculated from the formula for exploitation rate (4.4%), which resulted in an estimate of 1.5% for Black Creek coho marine survival."
  • ""This report documents the 2006 smolt and adult enumeration programs for coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) at the Black Creek fence. Both enumeration programs are based on sampling conducted at the permanent fence site located 100 m upstream of tidal influence, about 40 m downstream from Seaview Road in Miracle Beach Provincial Park. A series of projects have been conducted sporadically at this location since 1968 (Baillie, Simpson & Taylor 2004) and an uninterrupted data set has been compiled, under the present program, from 1984. In addition to coho, Black Creek supports populations of coastal cutthroat trout (O. clarki), and rainbow trout (O. mykiss)."--Document."
