Researcher looks at why some chinook salmon don’t make it up the Whitehorse fish ladder<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

William Twardek, a PhD student in the Cooke Lab<\/a> studying chinook salmon migration in Yukon, says there’s ample reason to be concerned about how the fish will survive a changing environment \u2014 but he’s optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
