- Will keep construction activities/facilities outside of aquatic/riparian habitat to the maximum extent possible to avoid impacts to steelhead and Chinook salmon fisheries

area occupied by an aquatic species that is used for commercial harvesting
The word fishery can mean different things but I think that in your context it probably means the area occupied by the salmon and which is used for the commercial harvesting of these fish. See more definitions below.
