Thousands of king salmon smolt were found dead at the William Jack Hernandez Sport Fish Hatchery in Anchorage this week.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - on Facebook explaining what happened on Thursday.
The king salmon smolt was being imprinted in the holding ponds near Ship Creek when Ragan says high water levels caused the pools to overflow. Ragan said they haven’t seen that high of water levels at Ship Creek since the 1960s and it caused poor water visibility. On Monday, a person walking by the holding pools saw smolt belly up and notified Fish and Game. In total, Ragan said about 25,000 smolt died, which is about 4% of the total number of fish they stock in Ship Creek. He believes it won’t have a major impact on future fish returns for the stream.
