Description: Abundance indices of steelhead trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in the Situk River have decreased over 50% since 1984. In 1992, as part of a continuing program to monitor this stock, counts of steelhead were obtained at a weir on the Situk River and from visual counts obtained from float surveys. Counts (incomplete due to washout of the weir) of 1,079 immigrants and 2,976 emigrants were obtained at the weir between the dates of 14 April - 17 July. On 15-16 May, 883 steelhead were counted during float surveys of the upper and lower river. This is the lowest float count ever recorded, which suggests that abundance of steelhead in the Situk River remains low.
