Prairie Creek salmon restoration, preliminary report [1991-1992 season]
Farro M. 1992. Prairie Creek salmon restoration, preliminary report [1991-1992 season]. Pacific Coast Fish, Wildlife & Wetlands Restoration Association
Following introduction of excess sediment to Prairie Creek from a storm during road construction, salmon were captured for spawning. The Trinidad Fishermen's Association operated the trap and weir, as well as rearing sites. This report of activities during 1991-1992 includes release and trapping data (with graphs of release length frequencies). A table of spawning results shows a fertility range for steelhead, coho, and chinook of 49 percent to 64 percent, which the text indicates is reduced, in part because of very low stream flows during the normal time of migration and spawning. Two pages at the end give downstream migrant trapping information for Prairie Creek (1992).
