| Summary: | A resistance board weir was used to collect abundance, run timing, and biological data from salmon returning to the Tuluksak River, a tributary to the lower Kuskokwim River, between June 22 and September 10, 2004. Data collected were used in-season to manage the commercial and subsistence fisheries in the Kuskokwim area. A total of 11,796 chum Oncorhynchus keta, 1,475 Chinook O. tshawytscha, 136 sockeye O. nerka, 496 pink O. gorbuscha and 20,336 coho salmon O. kisutch were counted through the weir during 2004. Peak weekly passage occurred July 4 to 10 for Chinook and sockeye salmon, July 18 to 24 for chum and pink salmon, and August 15 to 21 for coho salmon. |
