| Abstract: | Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has monitored Chinook salmon passage in the Kenai River using side-looking sonar technology from 1987 to present. The original acoustic technology, dual-beam sonar (1987-1994) was replaced by split-beam sonar (1995 – 2011), and most recently by DIDSON (2011- present). Starting in 2013, ADF&G will operate two sonar stations, one at the historical site at Kenai River mile 8.6 and a second experimental site at Kenai River mile 13.7. |
