(Adapted from authors' abstract.) Recovery surveys of tagged sockeye salmon were conducted on all known spawning grounds in the Kvichak watershed, including the Newhalen River-Lake Clark complex. The results showed the potential for genetic mixing between migrants from every portion of the escapement. The paper is part of a larger document--the Sockeye 1985 Symposium proceedings--describing sockeye salmon biology and management
