A majority of salmon and nearly all wild steelhead runs in Washington are primarily managed to achieve natural spawning escapement goals. Numerically, many stocks are relatively healthy, and naturally reproducing populations still account for over half the total salmon and steelhead production originating from Washington's watersheds. However, many wild stocks are significantly depleted and most runs experience periodic problems. Annual and long-term resource management planning efforts are commonly undertaken to assess status of stocks and fisheries. Specific harvest, culture, and habitat measures have been recommended and/or implemented in many areas to maintain or improve the status of wild stocks . |

Salmonid Stock Inventory (SASI) is a standardized, uniform approach to identifying and monitoring the status of Washington's salmonid fish stocks. The inventory is a compilation of data on all wild stocks and a scientific determination of each stock's status as: healthy, depressed, critical, unknown, or extinct. SaSI thus is a basis for prioritizing recovery efforts and for measuring the results of future recovery actions. SaSI is a cooperative product of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the tribal co-managers. |
