Kvichak Sockeye Smolt Study - Phase 2
Synopsis:
This project will estimate the number, age, and size of sockeye salmon smolt migrating to sea from the Kvichak River system. Smolt numbers and biological information provide data needed to evaluate freshwater production, set biological escapement goals, and forecast adult returns. Tissue samples will also be collected to provide genetic estimates of the production of groups of populations within the Kvichak River system including Lake Clark, Northeast Iliamna, Iliamna Islands, and Iliamna Tributaries. Sockeye salmon returning to Lake Clark support one of the largest subsistence fisheries in Bristol Bay. This project continues work begun in AKSSF project 45907.
