Pre-Spawning Mortality
Three stocks, all from the Columbia River system (Upriver Brights, Spring Creek, and Lyons Ferry), are assessed pre-spawning mortality (also called "Inter-Dam Losses"). All other stocks have 100% survival between the terminal fishing area and the spawning grounds. Pre-spawning mortality is applied to the total adult escapement as follows:
Spawners(s) = AdltEsc(s)PreSpSurvRt(s)
[4.4]
where
- Spawners(s) = number of spawners for stock s
- AdltEsc(s) = adult escapement for stock s
- PreSpSurvRt(s) = pre-spawner survival rate for stock s.
Note that all age classes in the adult escapement are assessed the same mortality rate. Thus, the model assumes that age andsize have no influence on the upstream survival rate.
