This article discusses the effects of winter flooding and warm ocean temperatures on the Southeast Alaska pink salmon or humpy runs. Biologists speculate that the warm sea surface temperatures may be responsible for the high survival rates or larger fish size. The article also discusses the research conducted at the Auke Creek Hatchery and Weir, which has been collecting salmon data for the past 35 years. The research has implications for resource management, as it can provide insight into how climate change is influencing migratory behavior, marine survival, and productivity.
