Weekly Report #5
20-Nov-03
Through 11/19 we have had 153 males and 168 females return to the
Sea Resources Hatchery on the Chinook River. We spawned 21 females
on 11/17 and transported the eggs to Grays River Hatchery for incubation.
The remainder of the fish have been released upstream of the weir.
They are Grays River stock (parents were collected and spawned from
the Grays River and the juveniles were released into the Chinook River.
These adults are the returns from those efforts).
