2000 Chinook Salmon Spawning Ground Survey, Klamath National Forest

摘要

The Forest Service (FS), California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), Karuk Tribe of California (Karuk), and the Yurok Tribe conducted chinook salmon (Oncorhyncus tshawytscha) spawning ground surveys within the Salmon River Sub-basin, Scott River Sub-basin, and mid-Klamath River tributaries. Volunteers consisted of the Salmon River Restoration Council and students from local schools. A combination of redd counts, and mark and recapture carcass counts, were completed to assess spawner escapement and habitat utilization on these water bodies. This report summarizes the redd count portion of the survey. A separate report will be prepared by CDFG biologists for the carcass count portion of the survey.
