Young Elwha Chinook Implanted With Acoustic Transmitters Will Shed Light On Marine Travels
PORT ANGELES (April 26, 2006) – Where do young Elwha River chinook spend their time immediately after leaving the river? That’s the question the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, in cooperation with the University of Idaho, wants to answer by implanting 100 young chinook with acoustic transmitters to track their movements when they enter marine waters.
It’s part of the tribe’s ongoing efforts to record salmon behavior and habitat use before and after the removal of two fish-blocking dams beginning in 2009. For nearly 100 years, the dams have kept fish from using all but five of the river’s 45 miles, sending the numbers of the legendary run of chinook to numbers so low, a state-run hatchery helps support the run.
