Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transplanting Adult Pink Salmon to Sashin Creek, Baranof Island, Alaska, and Survival of Their Progeny About adult pink salmon were captured in a purse seine in Bear Harbor and transported alive in brine tanks on a boat to Sashin Creek, a distance of about 80 km. (50 miles). Most of the fish survived the trip; 727 males and females were put into Sashin Creek above a weir. The transplanted fish were augmented by 166 females and 121 males of unknown origin that entered the stream naturally.
