Description
The unalakleet river supports the largest chinook salmon subsistence fishery in norton sound. Unalakleet river chinook salmon total annual run averaged 20,790 fish prior to 2000 and 6,058 fish since 2000, a 64% decrease. Due to concerns raised by this decrease, the unalakleet river resistance board weir was initiated approximately 22 kilometers upstream from the unalakleet river mouth, which is below identified chinook salmon spawning habitat. The unalakleet river weir is installed in mid-june and operate until august 15. Two passage chutes/live traps allows project staff to count chinook salmon and is configured with a high visibility flash panel to enhance visibility. The primary objectives of the weir are to 1.) estimate daily and total unalakleet river chinook salmon escapement from mid-june to august 15 each year, 2.) describe the timing of unalakleet river chinook salmon runs, and 3.) estimate ASL composition of the unalakleet river chinook salmon escapement such that the age composition estimate is within 20% of the actual estimate 90% of the time and the SEX composition estimate is within 10% of the actual estimate 95% of the time. Additionally, stream and ambient air temperature, relative water level, and atmospheric observations are recorded twice daily and a hobo pro V2 data logger records stream temperature at 6-hour intervals. Currently, two local organizations participate in the operation of the unalakleet river weir: norton sound economic development (nsedc) and unalakleet native corporation (UNC). Weir oversight is provided by ADF & g with daily operations conducted by a fish and wildlife technician III crew leader, ADF & g fish and wildlife technician II, and one locally hired fishery technician (nsedc).
