Partnership developing lidar-based solution to maximize salmon hatchling survival

March 12, 2024

Thanks to a RISE-UP Seed Grant, researchers Michael Roddewig and Joseph Shaw, and community partner Tessa Frost are testing the efficacy of a drone-borne lidar system to predict plankton blooms conducive to salmon hatchling survival rates. If successful, the test will pave the way for the research team to access larger grants to develop the technology into a solution that hatcheries across Alaska and beyond may use to monitor plankton populations in real time.
