The Alaska Board of Fisheries has rescheduled a public meeting in regards to northern pike in a tributary of the Kenai River.
Friday, September 19, the board will hold a teleconference to discuss giving ADF&G the authority to use rotenone to target northern pike in Southcentral Alaska.
The current project under consideration would take place in a tributary of the Kenai River where the northern pike have been illegally introduced, with substantial impacts to native fish populations. Prior to using a poison to kill predatory animals, the department must obtain the board’s consent per AS 16.35.200.
The Kenai River Center on Funny River Road is the Kenai area listen only location for that meeting and a live audio stream of the meeting is intended to be available on the Board of Fisheries website.
For information about the meeting or meeting materials, contact the Boards Support Section at (907) 465-4110.
