Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall purpose of this project is to provide information on the run-timing and magnitude of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. escapements to Red Lake in the Southern District of the Lower Cook Inlet Management Area (LCIMA). Results will be used by Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) staff to evaluate the extent to which salmon access and use Red Lake. This project is 1 component of the AEA’s preliminary assessment of fishery resources in the Martin River drainage, which is under consideration for future hydroelectric power development. This plan documents procedures developed for estimating salmon escapement using unmanned, or autonomous video counting towers (AVCT) that employ above-stream remote video cameras and digital time-lapse recording equipment (Otis and Dickson 2002, Otis 2020). Hard drives will be retrieved monthly, and video reviewed to enumerate daily escapement for all species identified passing the video site.
