Collection of datasheets (pdf files) containing raw data collected during baited minnow trap study in 2021.

Tabular dataset containing the fork length of captured salmonids as well as the sampling reach wherein they were captured and date when they were captured during a baited minnow trap study in Campbell Creek Alaska in 2021.

Tabular datasets containing information pertaining to traps set in the Deshka River between 2019 and 2024 to sample juvenile salmon. These data collected from the field are used to assess effort and were acquired using a Survey123 data acquisition application.

Tabular dataset of data collected from chinook salmon smolt trapping on the Chena River in May and June of 2017-2019. Trapping took place between the East end of the Fort Wainwright airfield (N 64.831952, W -147.571279) and adjacent to Chena Marina (N 64.81065, W -147.89908) in 2017, between Hamilton Acres (N 64.839650, W -147.681000) and Pikes Landing (N 64.830467, W –147.848750) in 2018, and between Nordale Road Bridge (N64.846536, W -147.410418) and Grahel Park (N 64.845831, W –147.706114) in 2019. This dataset contains the total number of traps set on a given date and the total number of Chinook salmon captured on that given date.

This dataset contains the locations (coordinates) where and the dates when traps were deployed and recovered. It also contains trap-specific records of all species captured during a netting session.

Over the past few years biologists and other researchers have encountered noticeable fish die-offs, mostly of young salmonid, in various stretches of Little Campbell Creek. The USFWS prepared a summary report of these events titled Frequency and Distribution of Fish Kills in Little Campbell Creek, July - September 2005. One of the most obvious reasons for the fish die-offs is degraded water quality including an increase in turbidity, and there are many reasons for this. Turbidity data was collected and reported in Turbidity Monitoring in Little Campbell Creek, Summer 2005. Some of the most obvious are inputs from the city’s storm water system, stream channelization and its effects, removal of wetland filtering areas, and the impacts of urbanization (building of roads, construction, vegetation removal, increases in impermeable surfaces and the associated run-off of chemicals from various sources, and channeled run-off of storm water into the creek). Another USFWS report, Restoring ecological function and value to aquatic resources in the Little Campbell Creek watershed: Recommendations for the Great Land Trust summarizes the problems and some potential solutions.

These data were compiled to evaluate the potential adverse impacts that stocked trout may have on native fish populaitons through predation. Hatchery-reared rainbow and brown trout are typically fed exclusively on commercially prepared pelleted feeds and have no experience catching or consuming life fish at the time of stocking and yet stocked fish are percieved to present a high predation risk for juvenile native fishes. These data were compiled to allow for a relative comparison of predation effectiveness between hatchery-reared fish and wild fish. Mean numbers of prey fish surviving in replicated overnight laboratory predation trials were quantified.
