Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 1994: 94320-A

Principal Investigator (PI): Mark Willette (Alaska Department of Fish & Game)

Injured Resources Addressed: Pink Salmon

Abstract: This project would continue work initiated in FY 94 as part of the PWS System Investigation (Project 94320). This particular sub-project would compare growth rates of juvenile pink salmon among years (1989-1995), track the migration of juvenile salmon in PWS, evaluate the carrying capacity of PWS for juvenile salmon and other age 0 fish and develop techniques for estimating pink salmon mortality within the PWS study area.
