This report details ecological studies on the freshwater phases of the life history of sockeye salmon at Brooks Lake, as well as related studies of limnology and climatology. The investigations were done at Brooks Lake Field Station in 1957. Data are presented and interpreted on adult sockeye spawning distribution and behavior, age, sex, length, fecundity, and predation by bears; on juvenile sockeye ages, food, growth, migration, relative abundance, and distribution; and on climatological and limnological factors that may influence sockeye salmon behavior and abundance.
