Summary
Description
Goose production on the YK Delta in 1985 remained depressed. Environmental conditions of the late spring were partially responsible, but do not fully explain decreased production since densities, success and clutch sizes do not differ significantly from 1984, which was an average year in regard to environmental conditions. Clearly, several interrelated factors having variable effects between years control goose production on the YK Delta.
