The Afognak Lake sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka run severely declined in 2001 and has remained low since. Concerns expressed by local subsistence users to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the US Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Subsistence Management prompted an investigation of the lake's rearing environment in 2003 followed by subsequent annual studies. This report provides 2009 project results, a summary of results from 2007 and 2008, and an evaluation of limnology conditions and their effects upon smolt production.

British Columbia¿s Skeena River is one of the great salmon rivers of the North Pacific. The river and its fish have supported indigenous peoples for thousands of years. More recently, the Skeena has earned world renown for its recreational fishery and magnificent wilderness setting. Yet, over the last century, fish populations have declined from overfishing, habitat alteration and, to an unknown degree, climate change. Development of mining as well as oil and gas resources may also pose threats to fish populations.This book presents the first thorough review of the salmon stocks and freshwater species of the Skeena River. Initial chapters summarize the river¿s environment, fish, and fisheries. The book then examines the physical geography, development history, indigenous use, and major salmon stocks of each of the watershed¿s sub-basins. This volume makes available for the first time¿to researchers, field biologists, fishermen and natural history enthusiasts¿both the published, and largely unpublished, literature on this productive salmon ecosystem.
