  • Age, Sex, and Size of Yukon River Salmon Catches and Escapements, 1989
    AGE, SEX, AND SIZE OF YUKON RIVER SALMON CATCHES AND ESCAPEMENTS, 1992 By Daniel J. Schneiderhan Regional Information Report! No. 3A94-29 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Division, AYK Region Anchorage, Alaska December 1994 ! The Regional Information Report Series was established in 1987 to provide an information access system for all unpublished divisional reports. These reports frequently serve diverse ad hoc informational purposes or archive basic uninterpreted data. To accommodate timely reporting of recently collected information, reports in this series undergo only limited internal review and may contain preliminary data. This information may be subsequently finalized and published in the formal literature. Consequently, these reports should not be cited without prior approval of the author or the Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Division. AUTHOR Daniel 1. Schneic~rhan is the Yukon River Salmon Stock Biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Division, 333 Raspberry Road, Anchorage, AK 99518-1599. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My first debt of gratitude is owed to the numerous Yukon Area fisheries technicians and field biologists whose dedicated hard work is primarily responsible for the collection of field data which has been processed by them and by their supervisors into the information contained in this report. I also thank the principal Yukon Area management and research biologists, Louis Barton, Dan Bergstrom, Chuck Blaney, Russ Holder, Gene Sandone, and Keith Schultz of the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for providing harvest and escapement data. George Cronkite and Camille Gosselin of the Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans were very helpful in providing data from the Canadian portion of the drainage.

Project Description (describe in detail): (a) Type of system or facility, (e.g., canal, pipeline, road); (b) related structures and facilities; (c) physical specifications (length, width, grading, etc.); (d) term of years needed; (e) time of year of use or operation; (f) Volume or amount of product to be transported; (g) duration and timing of construction; and (h) temporary work areas needed for construction. (a) Proposed Facility. The project would construct a new 211-mile roadway along the southern flanks of the Brooks Range, extending west from the Dalton Highway to the south bank of the Ambler River (Appendix 2A: Figure 2- 1). The road is being designed as an industrial access road to provide ingress to the Ambler Mining District (the District). The road would provide surface transportation access to the mining district to allow for expanded exploration, mine development, and mine operations at mineral prospects throughout the District. Access to the road would be controlled and primarily limited to mining-related industrial uses, although some commercial uses may be allowed under a permit process. The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) is requesting a right-of-way (ROW) for the industrial access road as well as material sites and access roads to reach water sources and material sites.

  • Chinook, Chum, and Whitefish Ecology in the Yukon River Basin
    Assessment: Chinook, Chum, and Whitefish Ecology in the Yukon River Basin by Jennie Morawetz Ryke Longest, Advisor Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council, Client April 2013 Master’s Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University Abstract The Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council represents the indigenous people of the Yukon River. Currently, the Watershed Council is developing a Yukon River Watershed Management Plan. The heart of the plan will be a set of measurable water quality standards designed to protect the quality and flow of the Yukon River for the benefit of the river’s people and its fish species, on which the people rely for food and for maintenance of their traditional way of life. This summer, delegates from the Tribes and First Nations will decide whether to approve the proposed plan and recommend to the individual governments a proposed model ordinance incorporating by reference the water quality standards in the plan. If they adopt the plan, the Tribes and First Nations will then need to work together to compare existing conditions against the water quality standards, among other things. For a comparison of existing conditions and the water quality standards to be meaningful, it must be done in light of information on how people and how fish use the river. The Watershed Council has focused most of its energies so far on water quality as it relates to human and community health. Given this historical focus, the Watershed Council has relatively little technical information regarding fish ecology in the Yukon basin.
