Biologist to speak about Kenai River fish studies
Posted: Friday, July 21, 2000
Doug Palmer of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Kenai Fishery Resource Office will give a slide presentation Monday on population studies of rainbow trout and Dolly Varden char on the upper Kenai River.
He will explain how tracking devices are inserted into fish and how their movements are recorded throughout the rest of the season. The tracking studies are coordinated with genetic studies of trout and salmon.
The presentation is part of the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Centers Science on the Kenai series. Programs start at 3 p.m. and last 45 minutes to one hour. Admission is free.
