Abstract From summer 2020 through fall 2022, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Sport Fish staff will conduct a rapid, systematic inventory of anadromous and resident fish distribution and associated aquatic and riparian habitat in select drainages of the upper Tanana River and in select drainages of the Fortymile River and adjacent Yukon River drainages. This proposal is part two of a multi-year inventory effort that began in 2019, when project staff inventoried fish assemblages in Yukon & Tanana river drainages downstream of the 2020 study area. In 2020 project staff will continue where they left off and continue working upstream in those drainages. Target streams will be selected to fill gaps in coverage of the State of Alaska's Catalog of Waters Important for the Spawning, Rearing or Migration of Anadromous Fishes (AWC) in freshwater habitats expected to support anadromous fish populations likely to be impacted by human activities. Each of two crews will sample standardized ...
