Chinook salmon rearing in nonnatal U.S. tributary streams of the Yukon River, Daum, Flannery, 2011
Canadian-origin Chinook salmon juveniles have been recently documented rearing in downstream U.S. tributary streams of the Yukon River. A comprehensive three-year distribution study was funded by the Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund (AKSSF) in 2008 to describe the extent of colonization in U.S. tributary streams of the Yukon River between the Tanana River confluence and U.S.–Canada border near Eagle. Genetic collections from captured fish were archived for future analysis if funding was made available. In 2010, the Yukon River Panel, through the R&E Fund, provided the necessary funding to analyze the three-year genetic collections (2008–2010). Genetic analytical techniques were used to determine stock and country of origin for the samples. Samples were grouped by collection year and sample area.

Rampart Rapids Fall Chum Salmon Tagging Project reports (first to use video capture in it's tagging recap wheel)
The Rampart Rapids Fall Chum Salmon Tagging Project investigations into the declining ratio of tagged chum salmon in the test catches and weir counts upriver of the project spawned the Rapids video project as a method of counting salmon in a less harmful way. After operating since 1996 this important project became a victim of funding cuts in 2006 and does not run anymore.

5A Tanana test fishwheel reports using fish friendly wheel and video capture system
The 5A test fishwheel at the mouth of the Tanana River, started by local resident Bill Fliris, was the next project to use the video capture technology developed at Rapids Research Center. It is now run by Pat Moore of Tanana and is one of the longer run projects on the river.
