Description

One portion of this intensive program deals with the history of the run and the effect of the fishery, with greatest emphasis on Bristol Bay and Kodiak Island red salmon. This requires analysis of past catch, and escapement records and is described in another Plan of Operations. This Plan of Operations covers field work to be accomplished in certain Bristol Bay and Kodiak areas by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The Fisheries Research Institute of the University of Washington under contract to the Bureau will conduct complementary field research in other Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula areas, namely the Wood River, the Kvichak, and the Chignik systems.
