Long Lake sockeye salmon are the largest salmon stock within the Chitina River drainage. The variability of the run demonstrates the need for stock specific monitoring sites in addition to broad scale sonar sites estimating mixed stock returns. Long Lake salmon are susceptible to Federal and State subsistence users as well as commercial harvest. A newly implemented sampling regime will aid in estimating age-sex-length composition of the population.
