Preliminary evaluations of potential fish mitigation sites in the middle Susitna River /
Habitat characteristics of mainstem and side channel habitats in the middle reach of the Susitna River are expected to be altered with construction of the Susitna hydroelectric dams. This report analyzes potential mitigation sites with a focus on salmon.
