Technical Report · Mon Feb 01 00:00:00 EST 1993

OSTI ID:91410

In order to restore populations of Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout, a closure of sport fisheries for these two species occurred in oiled areas. Sixty-one stream systems in non-oiled locations in Prince William Sound that support populations of Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout were identified and incorporated into a site selection matrix. Catch rate, size information, and information about stream morphology were collected during the ground surveys. Migration information was analyzed from four years of tag return data, as an initial effort to understand stock movement and definition.
