Book Description
During 2005, wild (naturally-produced) and hatchery-reared Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, runs to the Ninilchik River were assessed with a weir to determine the stock composition of total escapements. The Ninilchik River Chinook salmon supplementation program has provided important sport fishing opportunities on the Ninilchik River and terminal fisheries. Continuation of the Chinook salmon assessment at Ninilchik River weir is recommended to insure that adequate escapement of wild Chinook salmon is maintained.
