摘要: Radio telemetry was used to monitor the movements of 79 adult steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss in the Kasilof River watershed from October 2007 to June 2008. Steelhead were radio-tagged between river kilometer 10 and 24 and tracked throughout the watershed using fixed receiver stations, boats, and fixed-wing aircraft. Sixty-eight percent (N=54) of the radio-tagged steelhead spawned in tributaries or the mainstem Kasilof River. Tributaries selected by radio-tagged steelhead included Coal, Crooked, Nikolai, and Indian creeks. The remaining 25 radio-tagged steelhead were classified as Dead/Expelled (N=14), Back-out (N=6), or Non-spawner (N=5). The seasonal distribution and movements of radio-tagged steelhead were described by dividing the watershed into five regions: the estuary, river, outlet, lake, and tributaries. Distribution varied as fish moved among regions throughout the study period.
