Tracking sockeye salmon home: salmon conservation to meet park mandates
Young D and Woody CA. 2001. Tracking sockeye salmon home: salmon conservation to meet park mandates. Port Alsworth, AK
Major sockeye salmon spawning aggregations were identified in the Lake Clark watershed using radio telemetry. Salmon were tagged as they entered Lake Clark and followed to their final spawning grounds. Basic habitat parameters were collected from select spawning areas. Contemporary migration paths and spawning distributions will be compared with historic spawning areas, subsistence and sport fishing areas, as well as with current development around Lake Clark.
