| Abstract: | Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has monitored Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) passage from 1987 to present in the Kenai River at river mile (RM) 8.6 using side-looking sonar technology. The original acoustic technology, dual-beam sonar (1987-1994), was replaced by split-beam sonar (1995-2011), and most recently by dual-frequency identification sonar or "DIDSON" (2011-present). Starting in 2013, ADF&G operated 2 sonar stations, one at the historical RM 8.6 site and a second experimental site at RM 13.7. Starting in 2015, only the RM 13.7 project was operated. This plan covers the RM 13.7 project operations for the 2016 season. |
