Fisheries committee  There is an overlap, because the stocks that migrated above the slide were already stocks that in some cases were in some difficulty. Some of our restoration activities focus on those stocks and were already focused on them prior to the slide.

Fisheries committee  I think some of the monitoring as to the fish populations turned out to be quite critical. Having some of those programs in place and understanding the impact of the movement of fish would have been useful from the point of view of knowing how well or how successfully the helicop

Fisheries committee  I don't have the exact figures in front of me per stock. We know that the additional fish moved through at lower flow rates and got through on their own, but they still may have been stressed somewhat. We looked, as we do each year, at the number of fish that reach the spawning

Fisheries committee  It depends on which section of the runs you're talking about. We saw a significant run of what we call Thompson 41 chinook return to the river. That population ended up being a significant source of food, social and ceremonial fish for the Fraser first nations. It also provides

Fisheries committee  I don't have the predictor for what this year's.... I'm assuming you're talking about Fraser sockeye in particular.

March 10th, 2020Committee meeting

Andrew Thomson

Fisheries committee  Okay, I can speak to the other species particularly. We don't expect a very high return on Fraser chinook for the interior Fraser populations because it's in the same low productivity zone. It is similar to interior Fraser coho. The p50 or 50% mark we're expecting for Fraser soc

Fisheries committee  We're having significant conversations with recreational, commercial and of course indigenous governments around the openings, in planning for the upcoming fishing season. Part of the challenge is trying to assess the actions that were taken in 2019 in terms of how those fishery

Fisheries committee  It was mostly coho at that point.

March 10th, 2020Committee meeting

Andrew Thomson

Fisheries committee  The chinook and sockeye migrate earlier, so they were there at a time when the flows were higher.

March 10th, 2020Committee meeting

Andrew Thomson

Fisheries committee  The interior Fraser coho population has been in some difficulty for a period of time, regardless of the slide.

Andrew Thomson

Fisheries committee  In terms of what actually got past, we moved somewhere in the neighbourhood of 600,000 fish, as I recall. But the numbers.... Sorry, the number is 60,000. I was one zero off.

March 10th, 2020Committee meeting

Andrew Thomson

Fisheries committee  Yes, zeros matter—my apologies. As Ms. Reid spoke to, we did an extensive period of monitoring in terms of tracking those fish and their success rate in reaching the spawning grounds. We learned over that research something very valuable. The energy expended by the fish to try t

Fisheries committee  Very few survived.

Andrew Thomson

Fisheries committee  Effectively, the survival rate to the spawning grounds was very low.
