Gulkana River Chinook Escapement - Phase 1
Synopsis:
Gulkana River Chinook and sockeye salmon stocks support subsistence fisheries in the mainstem of the Copper River. This project will estimate daily passage of Chinook and sockeye salmon migrating in the mainstem Gulkana River by visually counting fish as they pass over white fabric panels located on the river bottom. The resulting data will provide three additional annual estimates of Chinook salmon escapement for one of the major spawning systems in the Copper River drainage, continuing a data set that currently spans nine years and facilitating inseason management.
