Swimming depth and water temperature were recorded every 3 minutes during the 2002-2004 spawning migration for Yukon River Chinook salmon tagged with radio-archival tags. Telemetry data, obtained using remote tracking stations and aerial surveys, were used to determine the upriver movements of the fish. Ninety-five tags were recovered, including 35 tags returned by fishermen and 60 tags retrieved during spawning ground surveys.
