Current Populations
The Coordinated Assessments Partnership (CAP) currently exchanges High Level Indicator (HLI) estimates for the below salmon and steelhead species and populations.
The CAP also contains HLI estimates for superpopulations, which are estimates representing multiple populations. These superpopulations are not shown in the list below, but they are in the downloadable spreadsheet.
Many of the populations are part of Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) listings and have identifying information as defined in the Federal Register Notices. NOAA Fisheries, or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is the regulatory agency for anadromous fishes listed under the ESA. CAP and StreamNet endeavor to display information consistent to listing, per NOAA Fisheries. For non-listed populations, please see the Fish Management Unit Boundaries and Attributes information on the Standards and Processes page.
The column headings in the below table refer to:
PopID: Code for the population(s) of fish represented by this record.
RecoveryDomain: Name of the “recovery domain,” as defined in the Federal Register Notice by the NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region or by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in which the population falls geographically.
ESUDPS: The name of the Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) or Distinct Population Segment (DPS) the population is part of, as defined by NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region or by U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service. See the Federal Register Notices for full legal description of listings under the Endangered Species Act.
MajorPopGroup: For populations listed under the Endangered Species Act, the name of the Major Population Group the population is included in, as defined by the NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region in the Federal Register Notice listing the population.
PopulationName: Name of the population (or superpopulation).
ESAPopName: For populations listed under the Endangered Species Act, the name of the population, as defined by NOAA Fisheries or U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service in the Federal Register Notice of the listing.
