assessed and no negative effects of these methods on their survival have been detected (Cooke et al. 2005; English et al. 2005) Cooke, S. J., Crossin, G. T., Patterson, D. A., English, K. K., Hinch, S. G., Young, J. L., Alexander, R., Healey, M. C., Van Der Kraak, G. & Farrell, A. P. (2005) Coupling non-invasive physiological assessments with telemetry to understand interindividual variation in behaviour and survivorship of sockeye salmon: development and validation of a technique. Journal of Fish Biology, 67, 1-17. English, K. K., Koski, W. R., Sliwinski, C., Blakley A., Cass A., Woodey, J. C. (2005) Migration timing and river survival of Late-run Fraser River sockeye salmon estimated using radiotelemetry techniques. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 134, 1342-1365. 6. Please provide any specific comments for the authors. The full common name should always be given for each species mentioned in the text (e.g., “sockeye salmon”, not “sockeye”). Response: Full common name is now provided throughout the report. Please define the term “effective female spawner” Response: Term is now defined in the report. Line 2003: delete “the” before “its” Response: Correction was done. Line 1388: Two populations of sockeye salmon (Cultus and Sakinaw lakes) have been assessed as “Endangered” by Canada‟s national species-at-risk advisory board (COSEWIC). These assessments should at the very least be cited along with the IUCN citation. The former have some legal standing in Canada in that the Minister of Fisheries must respond under certain guidelines and timeframes under SARA – the IUCN assessments have no legal standing in Canada. Response: COSEWIC publication is now cited in the report. “Direct species management” is a strange term. Is it is common useage? The recommendation appears to be about modifying fishing practices, so why not just cal it that?? Response: Section has been reworded and the term is not used anymore. 123
