Description

The Hakai Institute Juvenile Salmon Program has been monitoring juvenile salmon migrations in the Discovery Islands and Johnstone Strait in British Columbia Canada, since 2015 to understand how ocean conditions experienced by juvenile salmon during their early marine migration impacts their growth, health and ultimately survival.

Two nodes operate cooperatively from May 1 to July 9 sampling 2 or 3 times per week.

Sampling

A hand operated purse-seine is deployed from small motor vessels in nearshore whaters > 9 m deep. Sets are conducted when surface activity of salmon is detected

Quality Control

Comprehensive. See attached materials
