Title: Effects of Oiled Incubation Substrate on Survival and Straying of Wild Pink Salmon 95076

Project Year and Number: 1995: 95076

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 1998: 98076, 1997: 97076, 1996: 96076

Principal Investigator (PI): Alex Wertheimer (NOAA/NMFS Auke Bay Laboratory)

Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: Robert Bradshaw, Adrian Celewycz, Ron Heintz, Jacek Maselko, Jeep Rice, John Thedinga

Research Location: All Spill Affected Areas

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Pink Salmon

Abstract: This project would expose pink salmon to oil during incubation and then release these salmon to migrate to the Gulf of Alaska. The exposure to oil during egg incubation would be used to determine the effect on: straying; marine survival; and gamete viability of returning adults. Additionally, the study would attempt to determine the influences on straying behavior of incubation environment; stock; and coded wire tagging.
