?dinnow traps were fished far 24 hours during the 2981 ice--free season.
Studies conducted by the Alaska Departnient of Fish and Ganie on the
Deshka Rive\@ -in 1980 K, Ruth, pers. comm. and by the U,S, Fish and
Niici;ife zrri/i;~e on the i';enaj Rjv~y from 1979 1981 (D, S~:hcqjdb peps,
camm,) indicated that a three hour fishing time would adequately sample
juvenSi ?e salmon.
*, > ihe quesliorj of the effect of fishing time an catch of minnow traps was
addressed by CI 24 hotir experiment at Ldhiskers Creek afid Slough on Jiine
-* 21-22, 1982. iiie objective vdas to determ-ine if a three hour set was an
adeqi~ale length of time to fish a mjnnow trap for the purpose of
