Stocked rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss populations in 31 lakes in the Tanana River and Upper Copper River drainages were evaluated during 2008–2010. We used two sampling schemes to provide managers with information about population length-age structure to determine if stocked fisheries were meeting management criteria and to provide basic population information to evaluate the presence of stocked fish in their expected size range. We also visually examined all captured fish for external signs of disease, parasites, and body condition (robust or thin). We compared populations in 19 lakes to management criteria for mean length and relative abundance for predetermined length categories and expected age cohorts....

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.
