Abstract
Estimates of density (based on catch per unit effort with tow nets) of fingerling sockeye salmon populations in a large (174 sq. mile) multibasin lake system were carried out during 1955, 1956 and 1957. Density and distribution of fingerling sockeye throughout the lake system are related to density and distribution of the spawning parent populations. Discrete populations associated with discrete basins point to a limited dispersal as a result of the multibasin nature of the lake system. In one example, higher population density appears to result in greater dispersal.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
