Description

This project examined the temporal and spatial distribution of wild Taku River chum salmon fry and hatchery chum salmon fry from Douglas Island Pink & Chum facilities with the overall goal to determine the potential for interactions in the Taku Inlet.

Project Benefit

This project will aid in identification, implementation, and coordination of cooperative research to provide important information relating to interactions of hatchery and wild salmon in Southeast Alaska. This information will be very useful for salmon policy makers and salmon resource managers. This project examines the spatial and temporal overlap of hatchery and wild juvenile chum salmon Taku Inlet and adjacent waters, and examine diet composition, diet overlap, and energetic content of hatchery and wild juvenile chum salmon in Taku Inlet.
