Kodiak commercial fisheries salmon management field camp and weir operational plan, 2008

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of Commercial Fisheries (CFD) management staff will operate five weirs in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA) in 2007. These weirs include the Karluk, Ayakulik, Dog Salmon, Upper Station and Litnik weirs. Weirs are used to estimate salmon escapements into KMA river systems. This information assists the ADF&G management staff in their decisions to open and close the salmon fisheries throughout the season. This operational plan will inform seasonal employees of their responsibilities in order to run effective field camps, operate weirs, and live at a remote site.
