Fish Eye View of Spawning Habitat in Alaska from Pack Rafts

Robert Mueller , Fisheries and Ecological Services, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Anchorage, AK
Join the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on a float down Birch Creek near Talkeetna, Alaska to document spawning activity in a Susitna River tributary devoid of human-caused fish passage barriers. Spawning surveys and precise habitat measurements will be used as a management tool to predict the potential of streams with barriers to provide suitable habitat for salmon production.
