Principal Investigator (PI): Ron Heintz (NOAA/NMFS Auke Bay Laboratory)

Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: None

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Pink Salmon

Abstract: This project will determine if oil can cause heritable damage to pink salmon reproductive capacity. This requires culturing three generations of pink salmon which provides opportunities to examine other immediate and long-term effects of incubating in oiled gravel. The project already is underway and oil exposures were completed in 1994. This FY 96 proposal focuses on incubating eggs from maturing adults in 1995 and coded-wire tagging the second generation for release in Spring 1996.
