Re: ADFG Fish Database Record Request

Dear Ms. Burton,

I am requesting a fish pathology report for salmon abnormalities in the Raven watershed since 1990.

Thank you very much,

Email we received back:

We have received 2 samples, one from the RAVEN River coho salmon (1982) and one from RAVEN stream sockeye salmon (2006). Would you like the disease history mailed to you? If so what is your address? I need to tell you though; the disease history report is basically for use by fisheries biologists in the management of fisheries programs.  The information is limited on the disease history report since it is not actually a report we widely distribute.  It is basically for in house use so is made for us, not a layperson and does not have all the information the submittor receives in the pathology report.  Not sure if it will be very meaningful to you.

Form we received from ADFG:
