To illustrate the various types of measure, on the next few screens
we will consider a hypothetical situation in which the management
goal has been defined as a viable, self-sustaining Coho salmon
population that supports a subsistence and sport fishery. Because
this is a resource-driven assessment, there are multiple potential
stressors, such as dams, toxics,
nutrient overenrichment, etc.

Coho Salmon, also called silver salmon, are found in coastal waters
of Alaska from southeast to Point Hope on the Chukchi Sea and in
the Yukon River to the Alaska-Yukon border.
The assessment endpoints chosen
are Coho salmon breeding success, fry survival, and adult return
rates.
