Question V

Tentative plans are to put the first hatchery on a barge so

that the hatchery site is not under built.

Egg capacity at start up will be 10 million with actual eggs

any portion and / or ratio of pinks and churns that Fred will

allow.

Once the returns are established an on shore facility will be

constructed. The size will be determined · by the available water

for fish and power and what Fred will allow in pinks,chlillls,

silvers , trout and r esearch.

Question IX ...... ..

. . t;.:. -:. l~.·.

A. Pinks will be harvested by trollers in districts 9 and

12 or 12 and 14 depending on entry pattern. Purse seine

will take both pinks and chums in 9 and 12 or 12 and

14 depending on entry pattern.

B. They mix thru out thier migration pattern until they

reach Warm Springs Bay.

C. Confined to Warm springs Bay. The hatchery will test a

variety of gear to see which is the most effective. Any

tCl1Ilinal commerical harvest would probably be by purse

seine

HYDROLOGY

Site Descrip tion

Baranof Lake outlet is located on the east side of Baranof Island

approximately 18.5 miles (mi) east of Sitka (fig. 1). The drainage

area of the lake , as measured at the old g a ging station t11at was

located at the outlet, is 32.0 square miles From its headwater

at an elevation of about 5300 feet to the lake outlet, Baranof River

is 12.1 mi. long. · Baranof La}~e drains into I'l a m Springs Bay, about

0.3 mi. downstream from the lake outlet (fig. 2).

Climatic observations were made at Bara nof b e tween 1943 and 1960.

The mean monthly precipitation and air t e mperature are shown in table 1.
