A counting tower was used to estimate escapement and run timing of five species of salmon into the Kulukak River on Togiak National Wildlife Refuge from 1994-1996. Escapement estimates ranged from 1,032-2,487 for chinook salmon, 11,970-34,482 for chum salmon, 10,404-13,503 for coho salmon, 1,194-12,687 for pink salmon, and 15,297-16,206 for sockeye salmon. The chinook, chum, and sockeye salmon runs peaked the first half of July, while pink salmon peaked in late July, and coho salmon peaked in late August to early September.
