| Abstract: | Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has monitored Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) passage in the Kenai River using side-looking sonar technology from 1987 to present. The historical site at RM 8.6 used dual-beam (1987?1994), split-beam (1995?2011), and dual-frequency identification sonar or ?DIDSON? (2012?2014) technology. Starting in 2013, ADF&G began operating adaptive resolution imaging sonar or ?ARIS? at a new site located at RM 13.7. The RM 8.6 site was discontinued following the 2014 season in favor of data collection at the RM 13.7 site. This plan covers RM 13.7 project operations for the 2017?2019 seasons. |
