Document: NAPA RIVER SALMON MONITORING PROJECT, SPAWNING YEAR 2006 REPORT

2006 spawner survey of the Napa River, conducted following California Department of Fish & Game protocols as described in the California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual (Appendix A).

The Napa County Resource Conservation District (RCD) initiated an ongoing salmon monitoring program in 2003 to assess Chinook abundance, distribution, and spawning success within the Napa River basin. This year’s monitoring included genetic analysis of tissue samples collected from recovered carcasses to determine the relationship between Napa River Chinook and other known stocks.
