Funding was also allocated to ADF&G for two workshops related to hatchery production of Chinook Salmon. A "round-table" discussion of the issues involved with potential expansion of Southeast Alaska hatchery Chinook production was held in Juneau on Tuesday April 10th, 2012. The meeting involved hatchery operators currently permitted for Chinook production, Chinook Mitigation Stakeholders, ADFG staff, and interested public.
A series of technical workshops have been held to discuss methodologies that may improve estimates of hatchery production from Southeast Alaska Chinook facilities.
