Research Location: Kenai Peninsula

Restoration Category: General Restoration

Injured Resources Addressed: Sockeye Salmon

Abstract: The project is intended to accelerate the recovery of the currently depressed wildstock sockeye salmon of Delight and Desire lakes through lake fertilization. Application of liquid fertilizer would increase the forage base for rearing sockeye salmon fry through nutrient enrichment. The expected result would be larger, more numerous sockeye smolt with a corresponding increase in marine survival rates.
