Catch and effort data for the years 1965-1974 are used in the construction of average run timings for sockeye, odd year pinks, even year pinks, coho, chum and chinook in British Columbia catch areas. The tables containing the BC run timing data are located halfway through the 38-page Flash document and begin on page 17. The tables contain the weekly proportions of the total annual B.C. salmon run (by species) arriving in the statistical fishing areas along the British Columbia coast. (See ** NOTE below.) If, for example, the table for Area 12 says that 0.2 of the coho run arrived during week 32, then it means that on average 20% of the coho entering Area 12 arrived that week. You will find the calender of weeks on page 5. detailed instructions
