Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Pacific Herring

Abstract: These additional funds will supplement the juvenile herring component of the Sound Ecosystem Assessment. The funds will be used to collect historical and contemporary knowledge about the ecology of herring and other forage fish. A comprehensive literature review and primary archival records search will complement in-person interviews of individuals and groups regarding the distribution of herring and other forage fish. The project will reconstruct a historical overview of the natural history of herring in Prince William Sound, lower Cook Inlet, and Kodiak. Researchers will map information on their distribution, create an ASCII file of mapped data, and create a subject index of textual information on the ecology and life cycle of the fish by species. Data and reports will be provided to affiliated research projects, particularly APEX (\163).
