The manner in which adult spawners are counted changed when the QIN got the escapement goal reduced and WDFW did not oppose the reduced escapement goal. So it is the number of Chinook spawning in the gravel regardless of origin. Even counting the broodstocked returns ( clipped ) we do not make escapement under current modeled harvest. So the QIN will have to adjust their harvest or not. Still up in the air and staff said should be ironed out next week.
