Project Title
Quantification of the use of adipose fin clips in hatchery salmon
Description
I am collecting a variety of hatchery information on pacific salmon
from federal, state, Indian and local agencies throughout the
Northwest. This information will be disseminated to interested
parties from a database. Detailed information is currently being
collected on the use of adipose fin clips in each hatchery that
releases coho or chinook salmon. The goal is to quantify the use of
adipose fin clips in hatchery salmon, and identify conflicting uses of
adipose fin clips and their associated costs. This information will be
used to support practical management decisions involving the
identification of hatchery and wild fish in natural spawning
escapements.
