"During 1999 and 2000 naturally-produced and hatchery-produced chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, returns to the Ninilchik River were assessed with a weir to determine the age and sex compositions of total escapements and to estimate the contribution of chinook salmon that stray to the Ninilchik River from three Kachemak Bay chinook salmon enhancement locations. Additionally during 2000, a random sample of sport harvested Chinook salmon were examined for an adipose finclip to estimate the stock composition of the harvest sampled each weekend in the Ninilchik River below the Sterling Highway. This report examines the results of these studies."@en . . . . .
