Description
Radiotelemetry was used to estimate the stock-specific run timing and distribution of sockeye salmon in 2004 and 2005. Fish were captured and radio-tagged using gillnets in the lower Stikine River (rkm 20-25) and tracked throughout the drainage using fixed-station receivers and aerial-tracking surveys.
Project Benefit
Stikine River sockeye salmon are intensively managed stocks that contribute much of the sockeye salmon harvested in District 108 and 106 gillnet fisheries. In recent years escapement goals have not been met for some Stikine stocks. This study will help refine migration timing estimates for the various stocks and determine if there are possible blocks to migration. Accomplishments

| Description of monitoring | |
| The goal of this program is to address a lack of information on migratory timing and spawning distribution of Stikine River sockeye salmon stocks. Upstream migrating adult sockeye salmon will be captured, floy tagged, and radio tagged. Stationary radio receiver towers and aerial survey tracking flights will be used to track these fish to or near their spawning grounds. This information will be used to determine which fish stocks migrate up the river during specific time periods and will indicate the relative abundance of fish on the various spawning grounds.
