Now that it’s November, ice has formed on the Kuskokwim, and we have some preliminary salmon data to review, we thought we’d share a little bit about the 2022 salmon season.
Most Kuskokwim weirs count Chinook, chum, and coho salmon passage, and a few count sockeye salmon passage. As of early July 2022, most Kuskokwim weirs have been installed and are fish tight, or close to it.
KRITFC is hiring a seasonal Fish Technician to work at the Kwethluk River screw trap study site during the 2022 field season. This project is part of a large-scale salmon research and monitoring initiative.
As of July 4, 2021, after days of work by crew members, the Takotna River weir has been watertight and ready for the season. So far, the crew hasn't counted any fish passage.
