Description
Summary:Tissue samples suitable for genetic analyses are being collected from fish species in the Susitna River basin, Alaska, for conducting genetic analysis of chinook salmon, and establishing tissue repositories for all four other salmon species and 20 non-salmon fish species. Chinook salmon tissue will be used to characterize genetic population structure, examine genetic variation for use in mixed-stock analysis, and, if sufficient variation is found, estimate the contribution of chinook salmon originating upstream of Devils Canyon to select habitats in the lower River. Salmon and non-salmon tissue repositories will be used for future studies to characterize the genetic legacy and variation of species and populations of interest. This draft document reports on Alaska Energy Authority's status in implementing the study as set forth in the FERC-approved Revised study plan and as modified by FERC's Study plan determination issued February 1, 2013.
