Straying rates of pink salmon into the Indian River, Sitka National Historical Park
Gende S. Straying rates of pink salmon into the Indian River, Sitka National Historical Park. Research Permit and Reporting System
Otoliths were collected from senescent dead pink salmon from 2013-2015 with the objective of better understanding the rate of straying from the Sheldon Jackson hatchery (SJH) into the Indian River, Sitka National Historical Park. Pooling all years, sampling periods, and sexes revealed that, in addition to in situ production, a sizable fraction of the adult pink salmon population spawning in the Indian River originates in the SJH. Overall straying rate was 24.2% (females: 24.3%; males: 24.1%).
