The Pacific Fishew Management



Council's Role In Salmon Fisheries






In response to a request from Senator BoL
Packwood, GAO compiled information on the
Pac1(I Fishery Management Counc'l's policias
as they reiate to the goals outlined in the
Fishery Conservation and Management Act of
1976,


Various fishing interests question the ade-
quacv of the data the council uses to support
decisions in its ocean salmon fishery manage-
ment plans. Council members generally be
lieve that current scientific dEta supports their
plans. GAO found that decisionmaking data is
limited and, although available evidence
generally supports council decisions, im-
proved data bases are necded.

Council officials recognize deficiencies in the
data base and several research studites are
underway to provide additional information
for developing a comprehensive salmon plan
for the 1930 fishing season.
