Alaska salmon fisheries are a valuable subsistence, cultural, economic, and recreational resource. The different uses for Alaska salmon fisheries necessitates active management to ensure stock sustainability and user satisfaction. An agent-based model was designed and constructed for simulating social-ecological dynamics of Pacific salmon fisheries to assist with management decision making. The model serves as a platform for conducting scenario-based studies investigating changes to social or ecological dynamics, such as stakeholder regulations or salmon migration dynamics. Changes to salmon migration dynamics due to climate change is particularly concerning, as it represents a factor that resource managers may only respond to and cannot control. Altered migration dynamics may substantially change the duration over which stakeholders harvest salmon for, as well as the magnitude of harvest on a daily basis. Such changes could pose a challenge to salmon processing plants that may not be equipped to deal with increased salmon harvest over a shorter time period in a season. Using the ABM, scenario-based studies were conducted investigating how altered sockeye and Chinook salmon migration dynamics may impact stakeholder harvest at the Kenai River in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska. Stakeholder harvest was analyzed to determine under which salmon migration scenarios processing capacity was exceeded. Findings include up to a 10% increase in events where processing capacity was exceeded for scenarios varying sockeye migration dynamics, as well as the unexpected result of processing capacity being exceeded for the majority of scenarios altering Chinook migration dynamics.
