Beautiful silver sockeye salmon at the Kitwanga fence. This fish would have been captured for scale and length sampling, and to determine sex.
The fishwheel was then moved into position. This photo shows the first position of the fishweel.
GFA technical crews are the backbone of the program, working long, split shifts each day to maintain the fence and process each fish that passes through, sometimes over 200,000 fish per season.
