Estimated historical commercial harvests of chinook salmon in the Sacramento–San Joaquin rivers and delta and in the upper San Francisco Bay.a Most of the estimates (except for the years 1875–1880) are minimal values because shipments for the fresh fish market were reported only for the major dealers; generally, unknown quantities include those caught for personal consumption, amounts sold locally, and illegally harvested fish. See Table 3 for recent chinook salmon catch statistics. No data were available for years not listed.
