Salmon Drive the System

Total run of sockeye salmon to the Karluk basin from 1922 to 2013

Sockeye Salmon historical early run

Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association (KRAA) Nutrient Enrichment Proposal for Karluk Lake Liquid phosphorus and nitrogen Increase phytoplankton → zooplankton → smolt → Ultimate goal → increased sockeye salmon production

Project Area

Alternatives No Action Continue current management strategy for Karluk Lake, Proposed Action : Lake Nutrient Enrichment Sockeye salmon fry stocking - Conduct back stocking program using adult sockeye salmon from Karluk Lake Combined lake nutrient enrichment and sockeye salmon fry stocking

Kodiak Refuge Goals Conserve the abundance of natural salmonid populations for continued human and wildlife use Ensure that Kodiak brown bears continue to flourish throughout the Refuge and congregate at traditional concentration areas. Provide opportunity for local residents to continue their subsistence uses on the Refuge Maintain the water quality and quantity necessary to conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity
