Upper Queets River Spring Chinook Broodstock Studies, 1990
Wampler PL. 1991. Upper Queets River Spring Chinook Broodstock Studies, 1990. United States Fish And Wildlife Service. Olympia, WA
From the Abstract: "The spring portion of the native chinook run in the Queets River, located on the Olympic Peninsula, has been depressed for many years. Fishery resource agencies determined that hatchery augmentation holds potential for run restoration. We conducted a study to determine the feasibility of capturing spring chinook broodstock in the upper Queets River within Olympic National Park, and of collecting their eggs and milt for transport out of the park." No fry resulted from the effort due to numerous problems with transport and hatchery life.
