Appendix 1I: Spawning Habitat Selection by Herring in Kamishak Bay, AK Statistical Analysis A total of 488,653 km of shoreline in Kamishak Bay, AK was surveyed for Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) spawning events from fixed-wing aircraft in years

Statistical Analysis A total of 488,653 km of shoreline in Kamishak Bay, AK was surveyed for Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) spawning events from fixed-wing aircraft in years 1978 – 2001, with the exception of 1982 and 1997. Every survey followed the same route. Although multiple surveys occurred in each year, the survey frequency was largely a function of weather, perceived size of the spawning cohort, pilot availability and budget. The minimum and maximum number of repeated surveys within a year were 2 and 12, respectively. When split into ~50 m segments (described in Appendix I), this resulted in a total of 9,316 shoreline segments that were surveyed multiple times each year. All surveys within a year were conducted between April 20 th and June 4 th .
