A transplant of Arctic grayling to a flooded gravel mine site in the Kuparuk River oilfield

"There are two components to this technical report. The first component describes the capture and transplanting of Sagavanirktok River drainage arctic Grayling to Kuparuk Mine Site B in June 1989. This section also describes site rehabilitation efforts conducted by the oil industry at Kuparuk Mine Site B and the potential benefits of these efforts to fish and wildlife at this site. The second component describes fish sampling in the Kuparuk River to obtain arctic grayling for disease screening so that this river system could be used as a source of arctic grayling for future transplants to mine sites within the oilfields."--p.1. by Jack F.
