POLL: Some thoughts on C&R of kokanee salmon

[dubob]

[quote kokeking]do you have any links to these studies? I would be very interested in seeing these studies. to the best of my knowledge there has never been a study on the kokeanee mortality on the gorge.

the article that you linked too goes to Ryan's blog, and he is very knowledgeable on kokes. But his blog is just guide lines, no hard proof.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]In preparation for writing this thread, I did some simple google searches and found several studies indicating the mortality for kokanee salmon is higher than most other freshwater fish species with one or two exceptions. I did not save any of those links, so no, I can't give them to you. And none were specific to the Gorge.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]You are correct in your statements about Ryan Mosley. Ryan is a fisheries biologist whose work focuses on both the Green River and Flaming Gorge Reservoir. If there are any studies in this vein specific to the Gorge, I'm sure he would be aware of them and would be willing to share them with you. I've found all DWR employees willing to discuss anything job related every time I've called them or talked to them in person.[/#800000][/font]
