What is being counted?
Different projects use sonar, weirs or other methods. A count has a named station, species, measurement period and sometimes a preliminary status. Always keep that context attached to a chart or number.
Why yesterday is not today
Counts may be uploaded after observations are made, corrected later, or stop when the project season ends. The latest published observation should never be labeled real-time without evidence.
How to use the numbers
Compare the dates and years cautiously, read source methodology, and check current regulations separately. Passage count alone cannot establish legal fishing or likely success.
