Figure 1. Harvest and escapement of southeastern Alaska pink salmon between 1962 and 1997.  Escapement
estimates are based on peak counts of index streams and, therefore, represent an index to total escapement.

Figure 5. A gamma model with winter air temperatures using spawner-recruitment data from 1962 to 1997.
The solid line is the model fit with average winter air temperatures; the dashed lines are the model fits
with (+) and (-) one standard deviation in winter air temperatures.

The solid line is the model fit with average early marine growth; the dashed lines are the model fits
with (+) and (-) one standard deviation in growth.
