Invasive Northern Pike Suppression - Phase 1

Synopsis:Northern pike is an invasive predatory fish in central Alaska that is responsible for the loss of several fisheries across the region. Alexander Creek in the Susitna River basin is one of the most heavily impacted systems. This project will attempt to restore the quality of salmon rearing habitat in Alexander Creek by annually reducing the number of northern pike spawners in its slow backwaters. Reducing the density of northern pike will increase salmon production in this system by reducing the mortality rate of juvenile salmon. Research will also be conducted to better understand movement patterns of northern pike in Alexander Creek and to evaluate the success of the suppression effort in order to inform and enhance pike suppression efforts.
