Description

The long and consistent records of escapement that have been obtained in Prince William Sound show clearly that there is a direct relation between the number of spawners and the subsequent return of adult pink salmon two years later. In this paper the relationship between the catch, escapement and return for the last seventeen years is presented. From these data are derived the most probable return for 1957 and the reliability of the prediction.
