Kokanee Spawner Size at Age Assessments

This multi-year project will monitor trends in kokanee size at different ages when they are spawning in tributaries of the Williston Reservoir.

Understanding these trends will provide insight into the population status of kokanee in the reservoir, and that could potentially signal population changes that could be relevant to ecosystem management and inform next steps including further investigation.

In collaboration with local First Nations, kokanee will be collected at sites across the watershed, measured and aged.
