A long range dual frequency identification sonar (DIDSON-LR) was used to enumerate the chinook salmon escapement to the Big Salmon River in 2006, as well as determine associated run timing, and diel migration patterns. This was the second year of sonar operation at this site. The sonar site was located on the Big Salmon River at the same location as in 2005, approximately 1.5 km upstream of the confluence with the Yukon River. Partial weirs placed on both sides of the river were used to restrict fish passage through a 34 m opening. The sonar was configured to provide a 29º conical ensonified field, 40 m wide that covered the water column within the fish passage opening. A total of 7,308 (7,298 counted plus 10 extrapolated)...
