Salmonid Enhancement Program (SEP) Production Plan Archive

Salmon Enhancement Program (SEP) facilities are subject to the Pacific Aquaculture Regulations (PAR) under the Fisheries Act. PAR licenses include a production plan, which is developed within a formal integrated planning process involving internal and external consultation. External consultation is carried out through the Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP) process.

The production planning cycle establishes maximum number of salmon eggs to be collected and juveniles to be released for each enhanced system, using strategies that will produce the number of adult salmon desired to meet specific objectives while considering species and ecosystem interactions, effects on wild stocks, harvest, habitat capacity, project capacity, and overall conservation unit objectives.

Planning and data collection includes production from major federal facilities, contracted Community Economic Development Program hatcheries (CEDP), Public Involvement Projects (PIP) operated by volunteers, and Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy (AFS).

Some SEP licensed facilities also rear provincially managed Steelhead and Cutthroat Trout at the request of the Province. For more information regarding the hatchery enhancement of these species please contact the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations: https://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/contact/

The Production Plan lists the production events that are to take place in a specific brood year. This Open Data page includes the final version of the Production Plans after IFMP consultation from 2015 onward. This site will be updated each year with the new plan once finalized.
