Collection of DNA Based Stock Composition Data from the WCVI Chinook Troll Fishery

This project will collect and analyse DNA information from chinook in the WCVI chinook AABM fishery. The information is required to address i) changes in the conduct and catch distribution of the WCVI chinook fishery, including a more distributed troll fishery and growth of the sport fishery relative to the base period; and ii) the impact of these changes on the reliability of the CTC chinook model to forecast abundance.
