Abundance and Run Timing of Adult Salmon in Tanada Creek 2005 Report
Veach ER, McCormick MB, Sarafin DR. 2006. Abundance and Run Timing of Adult Salmon in Tanada Creek 2005 Report. USFWS Office of Subsistence Management, Fisheries Resources Monitoring Program, Annual Report. FIS05-502
Tanada Creek salmon are highly susceptible to Federal and State subsistence users as well as commercial harvest. The Batzulnetas Area subsistence fisheries specifically target Tanada Creek salmon stocks. Monitoring Tanada Creek salmon stocks aids in assessing sockeye salmon escapement into the uppermost tributaries of the Copper River and in evaluating the harvest opportunity for subsistence fishers in the Batzulnetas Area fishery and the uppermost portion of the Glennallen Subdistrict. The dynamic nature of the flows in Tanada Creek has prevented a rigid picket weir from functioning successfully. The feasibility of a floating resistance board weir and a video counting tower as monitoring tools are tested in Tanada Creek.
