Project Year and Number: 1997: 97302

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 1998: 98302-CLO

Principal Investigator (PI): Merlyn Schelske (US Forest Service)

Managing Agency: USFS

Assisting Personnel: Ken Hodges, Dave Schmid

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Monitoring

Injured Resources Addressed: Cutthroat Trout, Dolly Varden

Abstract: Research on anadromous Dolly Varden char and cutthroat trout in Prince William Sound has been hampered by the lack of basic information on their distribution. Earlier studies stated that there are only a few streams in the Sound with these species, but after consultation with local residents it appears these fish are more widespread than previously believed. This project will consult local residents, government agencies, Native groups, and other knowledgeable individuals to determine where these species can be found. For systems on which there is no information, field crews will conduct surveys.
