Alevin Pumping in Prince William Sound
As part of the Hatchery/Wild Salmon Interaction Study, a five person PWSSC crew collected pink alevin samples from the gravel in Stockdale Creek on Montague Island. This was a pilot test to determine whether genetic “fingerprinting” can connect these offspring with their parents sampled the previous summer, to compare the relative survival of wild and hatchery fish.
