Graduate Project Description:
In partnership with state, federal, and tribal entities, we are are testing a cost-effective method for counting salmon in five Yukon River tributaries using their DNA. If effective, this innovative tool could be applied during periods when logistics, funding or environmental events (i.e. high streamflow) render traditional counting methods infeasible.
