Fraser River Sockeye In-season Update –July 22, 2025

The above link is a summary of the July 22 Fraser Panel Meeting. For specific details please refer to the Fraser Panel distribution from the call. This is the forth in-season meeting of 2025 and information is building. Mission hydroacoustic and marine and in-river test fisheries have been running for a few weeks with marine seines beginning later this week. Strong, early-season returns for Early Stuarts are being observed across the assessment programs, with variable migrations conditions throughout the watershed. Only July 18 the panel adopted an in-season Early Stuart run size of 725,000 with a pMA of 1.86. No further recommendation were provided at this time. Information will be further evaluated during the tech meeting on July 24. If you have any questions or notice any errors in the summary, please contact Colin.Schwindt@dfo-mpo.gc.ca so I can make adjustments.
