Beamer, E.M. and Sartori, J.C., 2000. Skagit Chinook Life History Study Progress Report Number 3. Skagit System Cooperative, La Conner, WA. pp. 21.

This report summarizes progress made by the Skagit Chinook Life History Study
during 1999. The multi-year workplan includes: (1) preparation of juvenile Skagit
chinook otolith samples collected by the Skagit Chinook Restoration Study, (2) visual
and quantitative analysis of the otolith samples, (3) identification of naturally induced
transition checks or points on otoliths, and (4) identification of juvenile life history types
based on the presence or absence of these checks and the time (residence) elapsed
between marks. This progress report focuses on results for 1999.
