Description: Coho salmon returning to the Little Susitna and Deshka rivers in 1995 were censused through weirs at river mile 32.5 on the Little Susitna River and river mile 17 on the Deshka River. A total of 12,266 coho salmon were censused on the Little Susitna River and 12,824 on the Deshka River. The contribution of hatchery coho salmon to the Little Susitna River census was estimated at 1,135 fish (9.3%, SE = 2.2%). An estimated 20.7% (SE = 1.7%) of harvests of Little Susitna River anglers fishing from boats were of hatchery origin. A sample of 409 coho salmon taken at the Little Susitna River weir was found to be predominantly age 1.1 (56.7%, SE = 2.5%). A sample of 343 coho salmon taken at the Little Susitna River weir was found to be predominantly age 2.1 (68.5%, SE = 2.5%). Many index escapement counts of coho salmon on selected local streams were lower than average.
