Kenai River Fish Counts and Current Conditions 8/8/20
Kenai River Fish Counts
Kenai River Fish Counts are done by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to assist with in-river management of escapement goals. A summary from the ADFG Kenai River Fish Counts website is below:
Description: The DIDSON (sonar) is used to estimate passage of late-run sockeye salmon at river mile 19 of the Kenai River. The department manages Kenai River late-run sockeye salmon to achieve a sustainable escapement goal (SEG), and also follows inriver management targets established by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. The primary inseason management target for late-run Kenai River sockeye salmon is the inriver goal. These inriver goals vary year to year depending on the estimated run size in the Kenai River.
Inriver Escapement Goal for Sockeye in 2020: 1,000,000 – 1,200,000 (Graphed above)
Sustainable Escapement Goal for Sockeye: 750,000 – 1,300,000
On August 7, 2020, 26,737 Kenai River late-run Sockeye Salmon were counted. The cumulative total for Kenai River late-run Sockeye Salmon escapement for the 2020 fishing season is 941,180.
