    Fish Weirs on Wild Rivers – The Susitna Drainage

    Ever wonder how biologists know when enough salmon have returned to Alaska's rivers? We are speaking with Fisheries Biologists Samantha Oslund, Oliver Querin, and Nick Decovich. In this episode of The Fish Count Podcast, we head into the Susitna drainage to explore the science behind fish weirs, sonar, fish wheels, and the research that helps guide fisheries management across one of Alaska's largest and most remote watersheds. You'll also hear stories from the field, learn why king salmon face unique challenges, and discover just how much work goes into understanding Alaska's incredible fisheries. The Fish Count Podcast is a production of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. This episode was produced by Ryan Ragan and Amanda Luper. Audio by Greg Behler and Graphics by Amanda Luper.
