| Summary: | Abundance estimates of wild and hatchery Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. are important for evaluation of stock status and density-dependent interactions at sea. This data package includes total abundances of pink, chum, and sockeye salmon, reconstructed from catch and spawning abundance data for both Asia and North America. These data are in two main categories of salmon abundance estimates: (1) return (catch plus escapement) estimates of natural-origin and enhanced-origin salmon (numerical and biomass) by species and region, and (2) Total biomass estimates of mature and younger salmon by species and region (natural-origin and hatchery-origin combined). Most of the tables cover the period from 1952-2015. Longterm tables begin at 1925.
