The supplementation of natural populations of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. with hatchery fish poses unique management challenges. Two such challenges addressed in this study are limiting the number of hatchery fish spawning with natural-origin fish and maximizing the number of natural-origin fish in the supplementation broodstock. In this study, we focus on stock enhancement of Sockeye Salmon O. nerka in Hidden Lake, Alaska, where the Trail Lakes Hatchery supplements the natural population with hatchery-raised fry. Production in Hidden Lake is limited by the availability of spawning habitat and not by juvenile rearing capacity. The hatchery collects broodstock from the lake and releases fry with thermally marked...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
