Description
Summary:A resistance board weir was used to collect abundance, run timing, and biological data from salmon returning to the East Fork Andreafsky River, a tributary to the lower Yukon River, between June 23 and September 19, 2004. In 2004, an estimated total of 8,045 Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha migrated through the weir. The run timing was early compared to the 1994-2003 average.
