Harvest, Age, and Size at Age of Chinook and Coho Salmon at Strawberry Creek Weir and Besadny Anadromous Fisheries Facility, Including Progress on Special Studies, Fall 2001.

摘要

A record number of 8,125 chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, with an estimated weight of 119,438 pounds, were harvested at Strawberry Creek Weir (SCW), and the entire quota of chinook salmon eggs for use in Wisconsin's hatcheries were collected from SCW in the fall of 2001. For a second consecutive year, a pipeline functioned as designed and delivered enough water to Strawberry Creek to attract chinook salmon and facilitate their movement up Strawberry Creek and into the pond. The estimated age composition of the entire chinook harvest at SCW consisted of 11 percent age 1+, 71 percent age 2+, 16 percent age 3+, and one percent age 4+ salmon.
