pink salmon (anadromous) 09/14/2025 Spawning

Comments: I observed about 300 adult pink salmon spawning in a 75 meter long unnamed tributary to the Buskin River (Figures 1 and 2). The stream is located between Rezanof Drive and the Quality Inn/Buskin River Inn. Spawning habitat ended at a riprap barrier placed in the stream about 5 meters downstream of a perched culvert located under Airport Way (Figures 3 and 4). The barrier and fish spawning is located at about 57.7567, -152.5156.
