Mark-recapture experiment for the 2009 Chinook salmon spawning escapement in the Atnarko River / by L.A. Vélez-Espino ... [et al.]. : Fs97-4/2930E

Cover image

The main goals of this paper are: to provide an estimate of the 2009 Chinook salmon spawning escapement in the Atnarko River applying the standard pooled-Petersen mark-recapture experiment; to apply an alternative and robust approach to spawning escapement estimation within a model selection framework encompassing suites of open-population and closed-population maximum likelihood estimators based on individual encounter histories and formal testing of primary closed-population assumptions; and, to demonstrate the use of information provided by individual encounter histories from mark-recapture experiments allowing the reconstruction of migration phenologies and the estimation of stream residence times.
