Local salmon runs on

BOTH THE Capilano and
Seymour river fish hat-
_cheries report that annual
salmon runs up both rivers
are proceeding on schedule.

By A.P. McCredie
News Reporter

Wet summer weather has meant
that both rivers have retained ade-
quate water levels to allow fish up
‘their systems, a far cry from fast
year” 's dry, low-water season.

Lesli, Shubert, . Capilano . River
hatchery’s assistant ° manager, said
that while the river is fairly low
for this time of year, the hatchery
is still expecting between 20,000 to

25,000 adult (three-year-olds)
‘coho selmon in this year’s run.
Last year, 15,000 adult coho,

- 2,500. coho Jacks ‘(male two-
year-olds), and 204 chinooks were
counted by the hatchery.

‘From all accounts, we're
pretty much on schedule in terms
of adult cohos, but it’s still too
early to tell how our chinook run

will go,’” said Shubert.
. «Chinook salmon. are larger than
coho ‘and therefore: ‘need deeper

water to travel up rivers.

A water depth of four inches
(10 cm) is deep enough to allow a
six-pound (2.7 kg) fish to make it
up the river to the hatchery.

Since they were introduced into
the Capilano. River in 1969,
chinook salmon have never ap-
proached the numbers of coho
that return to the river’s hatchery
each year.

Historically, chinook begin ap-
pearing in local rivers in
September.

Seymour hatchery manager
Janis Jervis said that a lot of fish
can be seen in the river, but added
that it was too early to speculate
on how many will make it up river
into the traps.

“‘There are some pinks (salmon)
in the lower parts of the fiver,
which is always a good sign,”’ said
Jervis.

This year. is a ‘‘pink’’ year,
meaning that pink salmon. smolt
(young salmon) released _ three
years ago are expected to return to
spawn this season.

Last year, the ‘community-run
hatchery exceeded its target of
5,000 coho for brood stock by
more than 1,000 adult fish.
