I was looking that run estimates for 2023, and I am a bit confused about how the numbers work. Looking at the Skokomish, it appears that only 350 native kings are expected to return (Skokomish Total, 25540 Natural 350). with numbers like this, it seems that the run would be on its last leg. Yet there is a massive tribal fishery. The Stillaguamish shows a return with a total of only 1210, but 710 natural.

The Nisqually, with all its pressure, is only expected to get back 739 naturals.

These are terminal run sizes, so from definition they would include escapement, freshwater fishery mortalities, and fishery mortalities in terminal fisheries. I take this to mean the numbers are before the terminal fishery takes place. Am I missing something, even if they are escapement, can 350 be a sufficient number for a river the size of the Skok.
