Fishy Facts
On June 16, we went fish seining on the river by the camp and we caught some fishES. We identified 5 different types of fishes, which included 5 chum salmons (Onchorynchus keta), a dolly varden (Salvelinus malma), a spatulate sculpin (Icelus spatula), 5 starry flounders (Platichthys stellatus), and 2 pink salmons (Onchorynchus gorbuscha). The average sizes of all these different species of fishes were 169 mm (starry flounder), 41 mm (chum salmon), 100 mm (spatulate sculpin), 104 mm (Dolly varden), and 36 mm (pink salmon). For the river habitat characteristics, the average depth of the river was 24.5 cm, the average velocity was 0.57 m/s, and lastly, the total discharge of the water was 1.79373. I enjoyed collecting data with all the other students and I enjoyed catching fish since it was my first time to catch any fishes.
