The Morice-Nanika sockeye stock has been assessed by the DFO since the late 1940's. Over the past two years both DFO and Wet'suwet'en Fisheries have been addressing Morice-Nanika stock status with respect to productive potential and exploitation rate trends in both the mixed-stock commercial and terminal food fisheries. Management actions in 2001 and 2002 focused on reducing Morice-Nanika harvests, in both Canadian commercial and in-river food fisheries, to address recent declines in escapement for this stock since the late 1990's.
