Kodiak Island sockeye salmon investigations - Research is continued on the five major Kodiak 

 Island scckeye salmon stocks, which originate in Karliik, Red, Upper Station, Akalura, and 

 Frazer Lakes. The purposes of the studies are to identify stocks, count escapements and 

 smolts, and obtain data on such life history features as timing of runs and age and sex of 

 adults. In addition, adult fish, fry, and eyed eggs are transplanted to tributary streams 

 of Frazer Lake to supplement natural reproduction. 



Alaska AFC-9 Jack Leclmer Completed 1968 



Identification :]' red salmon stocks in the Cape Kumlik-Aniakchak Bay f ishery (Chignik area) - 

 Information was obtained on the origin of the red salmon stocks harvested by the Cape Kumlik 

 purse seine fishery at Aniakchak Bay. In addition, data were collected on age composition 

 of the fish runs and on the Aniakchak spawning system and stocks. 



Alaska AFG-10 Robert S. Roys $96,4-00 



Copper River sockeye salmon investigations - Salmon are tagged and released below and above 

 Wood Canyon to assess escapement. Aerial and ground surveys of spawning areas are made to 

 estimate the escapements and the use of the spawning areas. Sites for installation of 

 electronic fish counters were surveyed also. 



Alaska AFC-12 Richard W. Tyler Completed 1963 



Forecast of Kodiak Island pink salmon from abuniance of juveniles in estuaries - This project 

 is part of &n ' verall study cf the pink salmon runs to the Kodiak area by the Fisheries 

 Research Institute of the University of Washington. Sampling methods currently ased in 

 forecasting were tested. Also, the feasibility of marking pink and chum salmon fingerlings 

 was tested using sprayed fluorescent pigment. 



Alaska AFC -13 Duane E. Phinney $33,700 



Optimum escapement studies of Chignik sockeye salmon - Studies were extended to investigate 

 the ecological association rf young sockeye salmon and competitor species in two physically 

 and biologically dissimilar lakes in the Chignik River system. The University of Washington 

 does the work at their field station on Chignik Lake. 



Alaska AFC-U Daniel P. Hennick $34,000 



Pink salmon forecast research - About 15 streams in the Chignik area of the Alaska Peninsula 

 are sampled to obtain an index of the annual production of pink salmon fry. This index is 

 useful in the forecast of the size of returning runs. 



Alaska AFC-15 Robert C. Francis $24,000 



Computer simulation model of the Dixon Entrance salmon stocks - A computer simulation model 

 technique is used in a study of the Canada and United States salmon stocks and 

 fisheries in the Dixon Entrance area of Southeastern Alaska and Northern British Columbia. 

 It will be used as a tool to design tagging studies, to refine techniques for analyses 

 of such tagging studies, and to test hypotheses of patterns of actual migrations. 



Alaska AFC-16 Allen S. Davis $50,000 



Escapement enumeration investigations - An electric fish counter is used to evaluate and 

 improve counts of salmon escapements in clear water streams in Bristol Bay and the turbid 

 waters of Kenai and Kasilof Rivers Cook Inlet. Counts from towers or the air are compared 

 with those made by the electric counter. 



California AFC-7 John Hayes Completed 1968
