Objective(s): To monitor the sex, maturity, age, length, weight and numbers of arctic charr caught in the subsistence fishery as indicators of the health and status of the stock; to provide an index of relative abundance of the stock based on CPUE data; to facilitate recovery of floy tags applied to fish of this stock in previous years.
Project Description: HTC members have counted, measured and sampled all fish that were caught in the domestic fishery located at the mouth of the Hornaday River for the past several years. This season represents the fourth year of the monitoring program. HTC members will collect information on arctic charr that are caught by the fishery.
