HKACIIAM ET AL : VIKON RIVf:R CHl'M SALMON POPULATION 



acters used for stock identification makes annual 

 sampling of the baseline stocks necessary (e.g., 

 Wilcock and McBride 1983; Wilcock 1984), and 

 restricts the incorporation of results into manage- 

 ment decisions during the fishing season. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The extensive field sampling necessary for this 

 program was accomplished with the help of many 

 individuals, including Art Demsky, Peter Etherton, 

 Robbin Hunka, Tom Hurds, and especially Wally 

 Barner. Special thanks are due to Bill Arvey, Larry 

 Buklis, and other members of the Alaska Depart- 

 ment of Fish and Game for sampling of Alaskan 

 populations. Age determination of chum salmon 

 from scales was conducted by Yvonne Yole. Main- 

 tenance and supervision of the incubation laboratory 

 was provided by Wally Barner, Bill Andrews, and 

 Bruce Patten. July Dawes, Brenda Hoitsma, and 

 Tracey Briggs weighed and measured the chum 

 salmon eggs, ale\ins, and fry examined in this study. 

 The electrophoretic analysis was conducted by Helix 

 Biotech Ltd. of Richmond, B.C., under contract to 

 the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
