Winter aquatic investigations (September 1983-May 1984) : an evaluation of the incubation life-phase of chum salmon in the middle Susitna River, Alaska /

This report provides results of the 1983-1984 winter studies conducted by the ADF&G to evaluate and compare existing chum salmon incubation conditions in selected slough, side channel, tributary, and mainstem habitats of the Susitna River between Talkeetna and Devil Canyon (river miles 98-152).
