Abundance and Run Timing of Adult Salmon in Tanada Creek 2010
Sarafin DR. 2011. Abundance and Run Timing of Adult Salmon in Tanada Creek 2010. USFWS Office of Subsistence Management, Fisheries Resources Monitoring Program, Annual Report. OSM10-502-2011. Copper Center, Alaska
Tanada Lake salmon are highly susceptible to Federal and State subsistence users as well as commercial harvest. The Batzulnetas Area subsistence fisheries specifically target Tanada Lake salmon stocks. Monitoring Tanada Lake 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 utilizing an underwater video recording system as a monitoring tool were tested in Tanada Creek.
