Loss

Genetic vs Length-at-Date (LAD) Total Loss per water year
The figure shows cumulative loss by BiOp Status and Hydrological Classification Index (HCI). Each quadrant of the faceted plot includes grey lines for historical years, colored lines (blue for wet years, red for dry years) for years within the BiOp status and HCI type, a black line for the current year, and a dashed horizontal line indicating the current cumulative loss maximum.

Daily Loss and Export with OMR

Daily LAD natural-origin winter-run Chinook salmon (CVP=gold bars and SWP=blue bars) with daily exports at both the CVP (gold line) and SWP (blue line). Vertical black bars are approximate dates when OMR/OMRI controlling factors change.

Table II-2 Footnotes
a/ Year indicates the management year in which age-3 SRWC are exposed to ocean fisheries.
b/ Allowable impact rates from 2012-2017 were determined by an abundance-based control rule, where abundance was defined as the most recent three-year geometric mean of escapement.
c/ Since 2018 the abundance forecast has been defined as the predicted age-3 escapement in the absence of fisheries.
d/ Postseason estimates of the age-3 escapement in the absence of fisheries.
e/ Beginning in 2018, allowable impact rates were determined by a new control rule utilizing forecasts of the age-3 escapement in the absence of fisheries.
f/ Insufficient data for postseason estimate.
g/ Preliminary. Incomplete cohort data (age-4 escapement unavailable).
h/ Not estimated. Incomplete cohort data (age-3 and age-4 escapement unavailable).
