Biological Status

This assessment provides information on the abundance of spawners relative to biological benchmarks for the selected Conservation Unit(s). PSF’s standardized assessment of biological status is shown alongside assessments by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), and the Province of BC (PROVINCE) for steelhead, when available.
