Book Description
Counting tower techniques were used to estimate Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha escapement at the Gulkana River for 2013, 2014 and 2015. The counting tower was located in the mainstem Gulkana River about 2.5 rkm upstream of the West Fork Gulkana River confluence. The counting tower was operational for all 3 years for the entire Chinook salmon run and a portion of the sockeye salmon O. nerka run. The estimated escapement of Chinook salmon was 3,936 (SE = 215; 95% CI = 3,515-4,357) in 2013, 3,478 (SE = 271; 95% CI = 2,947-4,009) in 2014, and 3,738 (SE = 251; 95% CI = 3,246-4,230) in 2015. These numbers do not represent total inriver escapement, just passage above the counting tower site. The date of 50th percentile passage of Chinook salmon varied from 14 July in 2013 to 5 July in 2015. The estimated escapement of sockeye salmon during the counting tower's operational period was 48,024 (SE = 1,834; 95% CI = 44,429-51,619) in 2013, 27,186 (SE = 1,236; 95% CI = 24,763-29,609) in 2014 and 24,624 (SE = 970; 95% CI = 22,723-26,525) in 2015.
