MOOSE MOVEMENTS AND HABITAT USE ALONG THE SUSITNA RIVER NEAR DEVIL'S CANYON
From October 1976 through January 1979 a moose movements and population study was conducted along the Susitna River in southcentral Alaska to aid in assessing the potential impacts of hydroelectric power development on moose (Alces alces gigas). Twenty-two radio collars and 21 visual collars were pl...
