Sockeye salmon brood tables, Bristol Bay, Alaska, 1955-2016

Brood tables, also called run reconstructions, utilize annual estimates of the total run (commercial catch plus escapement), and samples of ages, to estimate the number of recruits per age class. These data are useful for salmon biologists to understand salmon productivity and salmon life histories. Archived here are original brood tables (in excel format) from the main river systems Bristol Bay, Alaska, along with an R script that reformats this excel file into individual csv files. The reformatted csv files are also archived.
