	Sockeye Salmon: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		Today sockeye salmon support one of the most important commercial fisheries on the Pacific coast of North America, are increasingly sought after in recreational fisheries, and remain an important mainstay of many subsistence users.
		Most sockeye salmon are harvested with gillnets either drifted from a vessel or set with one end on the shore, some are captured with purse seines, and a relatively small number are caught with troll gear in the southeastern portion of the state.
		Sockeye salmon are the preferred species for canning due to the rich orange-red color of their flesh.

		As the salmon migrate upriver, they will travel close to the banks of the river and are often nose-to-tail, two or three fish across in less than three feet of clear water.
		During the peak of the sockeye run, the entire length of the upper river literally comes alive with Alaskan browns, and although serious run-ins are rare, the wise angler is always vigilant, whether the native foragers are prowling the river right next to the raft or not.
		Sockeye salmon traditionally spawn in shoreline areas of lakes or the smaller streams that feed them in the late summer/early autumn period.

		Sockeye salmon are slightly larger than pink salmon and generally mature at four or five years of age.
		Sockeye can mature at ages between two and six years old but in most systems, one age group (usually four-year-old fish) dominates, meaning that most of the offspring produced in any one "brood-year" return to spawn four years later.
		Sockeye are mostly caught in gill and seine net fisheries along migration pathways to their spawning grounds.

	Sockeye salmon Information
		Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), also called red salmon or blueback salmon, is an anadromous species of salmon found in the Pacific Ocean.

		Sockeye is unique among the Pacific salmon in that juveniles rear for at least a year or two in lakes before migrating to saltwater.
		LIFE CYCLE: One of the only species of salmon that spawn in streams headed by lakes, sockeye salmon spend from 1 to 2 years in freshwater, a significant portion of which is spent in lakes.
		Additionally, migrating salmon in the Columbia, Skagit, and Fraser Rivers face the physical obstacles and high water temperatures resulting from dams, inadequate water flows in rivers and streams due to water diversions for irrigation, and the impoundment of water for power generation.

	Watch the sockeye salmon run at Cedar River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This year's sockeye run is remarkable -- a fourth straight year of relatively strong runs, though it won't reach the state Department of Fish and Wildlife's "escapement" goal of 350,000 fish, presumably the level at which the run can perpetuate itself and provide a fishery.
		Wild salmon runs on the Cedar range from 60,000 to 400,000 fish annually and include sockeye, coho and the federally protected king, or chinook.
		That eliminated the river's native runs of pink and chum salmon, which apparently were unable to negotiate the slack water of the lake and find the river.

	Sockeye Salmon
		The anadromous sockeye salmon supports one of the largest commercial fisheries on the Pacific Coast, and the vast majority of sockeyes caught each year are taken with gillnets and purse seines.
		Once at sea, the sockeye’s job is to eat and grow, which it does from one to four years, then returns to natal streams or lakes to spawn.
		The vast majority of sockeyes move into rivers or streams that lead to a lake; actual spawning takes place in the lake's feeder streams, near or in outlets, and along the gravely shorelines of the lake where springs are present.

	Sockeye Salmon Species Description
		Sockeyes are strong fighters and good leapers, but until recently were not widely sought by anglers because of their plankton-eating habits made them difficut to catch.
		However, fishermen have discovered that sockeyes can be caught on small baits and lures like a tiny baited with a salmon egg or piece of worm, or a fly.
		Outward appreance is similar to that of chum salmon, but they have 30 or more long, slender gill rakers on the first gill arch; chums have less than 30 short, stubby gill rakers.

		Even though the total sockeye salmon harvest was much lower in 2000 than the record levels of the early 1990s, a much larger share of the harvest was canned in 2000 than in the early 1990s.
